"All in and a call Table 32," a dealer bellowed.
We made our way over to discover that a raising war on a ![]()
![]()
flop resulted in Sadan Turker getting his stack all in and at risk against James Obst.
Obst: ![]()
![]()
Turker: ![]()
![]()
Obst had flopped trip fours, but Turker was drawing to diamonds. Unfortunately for him neither the
turn nor
river was the red card he was looking for and his 2016 Aussie Millions Main Event run came to a sudden halt.

Engels: ![]()
![]()
Chu: ![]()

It was a flip, but not after the ![]()

turn was it, and neither was the
river. Chu survived, much to the delight of his friends on the rail.
