Dovzhenko Applying The Pressure

Alexander Dovzhenko is what you would call a classic ‘live grinder.’ The Ukrainian has been riffling chips with the best of them since 2001, and is still managing to earn a living doing what most people can only dream of. Here he is putting the pressure on Sergey Pushkin.

Dovzhenko opens to 400 in early position, Christoffer Stahle calls on the button before Pushkin makes the squeeze from the big blind for 1,700. Dovzhenko makes a four-bet to 4,150, Stahle quickly mucks and Pushkin calls leaving around 3,000 behind.

Pushkin checks, Dovzhenko puts him all-in (a 4.5k bet) and Pushkin folds.
