River Ace Not Enough For Busch as Karakitukov Shows the Goods
Level 16
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Ricardo Busch three-bet to 50,000 on the button and was called by Anh Do in the big blind and Veselin Karakitukov in the cutoff.
The flop came 9♥9♦4♦ and Busch bet 25,000. Only Karakitukov called to see the 8♦ turn, where Busch moved all in. Karakitukov snap-called for 131,000, and Busch flung his arms in the air in frustration as he already suspected what was coming.
He showed A♦A♣K♦J♦, but his suspicions proved correct as Karakitukov turned over Q♠J♠9♣9♠ for quads. The A♠ river was a cruel tease for Busch as he handed over all but one chip.
"Thank you for the ace," he joked with the dealer.
