Painful Bust-Out for Korkmaz
Birger Larsen kicked off the action with a raise from the cutoff to 900,000 chips. Koray Korkmaz, positioned in the small blind, responded with a hefty three-bet of 2,800,000 chips, which Larsen decided to call.
The flop came 4♣7♣Q♥. Korkmaz led out with a bet of 2,500,000 chips, which Larsen opted to call.
The tension heightened when Korkmaz went all in on the J♥ turn, putting around 5,400,000 chips at risk. Larsen wasted no time in making the call, revealing J♣J♦ for a set of jacks. Korkmaz showed A♠A♥, holding onto a glimmer of hope for the river card, which unfortunately didn't favor him, revealing the 3♦.
Larsen couldn't contain his joy, celebrating loudly, before stepping away from the table to share his excitement, understanding the disappointment his opponent must have felt.
