"What a Stupid Hand"; Gavrila, Tozlu Chop It Up
Level 16
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Mert Tozlu raised to 20,000 in the cutoff before Viorel Gavrila reraised enough to put him all in from the button. Tozlu tanked for a moment before calling for around 140,000 more.
Mert Tozlu: A♠8♠
Viorel Gavrila: A♣K♣
Tozlu found himself dominated and at risk as the 9♥6♦7♦ flop gave him a straight draw. "Yes," he cried out as the 5♥ turn completed his straight.
The river, though, brought the 8♣ and the two players chopped the pot with the straight on board. Tozlu leaned over the table and took a photo of the board.
"What a stupid hand," a tablemate added.
