Simsek Fades Everything
Level 8
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
In a pot worth 225,000, Max Kruse checked from the big blind on a turn of 4♦10♣J♣Q♥. Burak Simsek then jammed all in for 198,000 in middle position, after which Vasili Firsau reshoved from the cutoff.
Kruse let out a few curse words and then folded JxJx face-up.
Burak Simsek: A♥9♥8♥7♠
Vasili Firsau: K♣Q♠Q♣8♦
The 5♦ river changed nothing. Simsek's straight won him the pot as Firsau could not hit a flush or full house to best him.
