Just eight minutes into Day 1, Oleg Ustinovich opened for 600 under the gun and Scott Song three-bet to 1,600 from the cutoff. Boris Smuskevicius flatted from the small blind and Ustinovich called to make it three-way action to a flop of 2♦7♠10♥.
Two checks saw Song continue for 1,000 and both his opponents called, which brought about the 4♦ on the turn.
Both Smuskevicius and Ustinovich checked again, and only the former called when Song bet 5,000.
Smuskevicius checked for a third time when the 4♥ paired the board on the river and Song thought for a bit before moving all in for 18,700. Smuskevicius, who had just a little less than that, quickly called off and showed the 10♦J♦ for two pair, but it was no good as Song rolled over the A♣A♦ for a bigger two pair.
