What may well end up being the most important pot of the tournament has just been awarded to chip leader Arturas Kesleris, who went to war with Albert Ostrovskij, second in the counts.
Ostrovskij opened to 40,000 from middle position, and was met with a three-bet to 100,000 from Kesleris in the cutoff.
Action back to Ostrovskij, who produced a four-bet to 300,000. Kesleris glanced at Ostrovskij, before making the call.
On the K♥6♦2♣ flop, Ostrovskij continued with a bet of 175,000, which failed to shake off Kesleris.
The 7♠ hit on the turn, and Ostrovskij checked. Kesleris took some time for thought, and jammed with the covering stack, sending Ostrovskij into a world of pain.
“Ay Yah, wow”, said Ostrovskij, as Kesleris announced all-in.
Ostrovskij, who was seated right beside Kesleris, spent the next four minutes talking to himself, and trying to get some kind of read on his opponent.
“Wow, I really love poker. I don’t think I can fold, what a crazy spot, oh my god.”
Eventually the clock was called, and with five seconds left, Ostrovskij folded. He pleaded with Kesleris to show one, but the chip leader refused.
Kesleris now has complete control over the final table.
Arturas Kesleris – 2,200,000
Albert Ostrovskij – 645,000
