Timely Bluff Catapult Uselis to Victory
Sometimes players get hit in the head with a deck of cards on their way to victory. Meaning, they get the cards they need in the right spots. As Uselis just proved, this doesnât always need to be the case as he picked some timely spots to bluff during the final table.
Uselis began the six-player final table in fourth place and was on the bottom of the totem pole with just four players remaining after Clayton Maguire and Anshul Rai both hit the rail before he began to climb the ranks.
The turning point for Uselis may have come when he successfully turned his hand into a bluff with bottom two pair on a paired board against Ferro who was bluffing until having the best hand on the river as follows:
According to updates from the event, Uselis opened from the button with ace-four to 600,000 with blinds at 150,000/300,000 and was called by Ferro from the small blind with nine-eight suited and Selahaddin Bedir from the big blind.
All three players on ten-five-four rainbow flop before Ferro checked again after another five paired the board. Bedir fired out for 850,000 and was called by Uselis. Ferro check-raised with air to 2,100,000. Bedir got out of the way while Uselis called with bottom two pair to see board complete with a nine on the river.
Ferro, who improved to a better two pair on the river, fired out for 1,500,000. Uselis went into the tank before raising to 6,000,000 with just 175,000 behind. We could be talking about a different winner if Ferro made the call. However, he wound up folding the best hand after tanking after being put into a difficult spot by Uselis.
Shortly after, Ferro ousted Bedir in fourth place and cowboys held against ducks for Uselis to eliminate Harout Ghazarian on the podium in third place.
Lucky Ladies Seal the Deal for Uselis
Ferro entered heads-up play with a negligible chip lead against Uselis took control and had more than double the chips of Ferro before the final hand took place. Ferro three-bet jammed with jacks and was called by Uselis with queens. Both a queen and a jack hit the flop to improve both players a set and Ferro was down to just one out after a blank hit the turn. It wasnât Ferroâs time for a miracle with another blank completing the board on the river to give Uselis his first WPT title.
Uselis shared some thoughts with the World Poker Tour live reporting team after his victory.
“I came here, and this was the first tournament I sat down in. I didn’t sleep much, and I just kept going and going. I was playing small pots, big pots, slowly building. Slowly, nothing special,” Uselis said. “There was for sure a bunch of action. It was a crazy (final) table, so I just needed to wait. I made a couple of moves because there were a couple of amateurs as well, so I was really lucky to make this final table.”
