Tsouloftas Spikes Turn to Bust Ivanov
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Lyudmil Ivanov opened to 12,000 from early position and was faced with a three-bet to 31,000 by Georgios Tsouloftas in middle position.
Action folded back to Ivanov, who took some time to think before four-bet jamming for around 165,000 total. After some thought Tsouloftas made the call with the covering stack.
Lyudmil Ivanov: 9?9? 
Georgios Tsouloftas: A?Q?
Ivanov was ahead with his pocket nines, and remained so after the K?10?5? flop, although his opponent also picked up a gutshot to go with his overcards.
The A? rolled off on the turn to put Tsouloftas ahead, and Ivanov could not find the required nine on the 7? river. Ivanov tapped the table and wished his opponents good luck as he departed.
