Pustina Dodges the River to Bust Ho
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Brian Kaufman led out for 2,000 on a flop of J?8?2? from the small blind and Vlastimil Pustina then raised to 10,000 in the big blind. Poseidon Ho called in early position, while Kaufman got out of the way.
Pustina checked the 5? turn and Ho bet 10,000. Pustina then moved all in and Ho called for his last 30,000. Pustina had J?5? for two pair, while Ho was on a flush draw holding K?7?.
The K? river gave Ho a pair, but it wasn't enough to avoid handing over the rest of his chips to Pustina as he headed for the exit.
