Kilickeser Plays Big Slick Passively

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Many poker players overplay ace-king but it appears Bahadir Kilickeser is not one of those players judging on a hand that just took place.

He opened from under the gun to 90,000 and his only customer was Andrew Chen in the small blind who made the call with {2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}. The flop came down {8-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} and when Chen checked Kilickeser decided his best play was to check behind. The {3-Diamonds} on the turn received the same action, a check from check and a check from Kilickeser but when the river was the {Q-Hearts} Chen checked again but Kilickeser bet 75,000 and Chen quickly folded.

For some reason Kilickeser decided to show the table that he had played {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} in this way.

Doing the Wright Stuff

Marc Wright is showing off the type of aggression that got him this far, with and without hands.

He opened to 85,000 with {a-Spades}{k-Hearts} from under the gun and was three-bet by Andrew Chen on the button. The Canadian made it 230,000 but folded very quickly when Wright shoved.

Two hands later Wright faced a button raise to 100,000 from Bahadir Kilickeser. He was in the small blind anf three-bet to 235,000. Kilickeser called but folded to a 260,000 c-bet on a {7-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop.
