Biz More Than Doubles

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante
Mustafa Biz
Mustafa Biz

Victor Ilyukhin raised from the early position and was called by Mustafa Biz in the hijack. Action folded to Bahadir Hatipoglu in the big blind who three-bet to 3,800. Ilyukhin made the call and Biz then decided to shove for 34,500. Hatipoglu took his time to consider his options and then decided to make the call. Ilyukhin shook his head and reluctantly folded.

Mustafa Biz: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Bahadir Hatipoglu: {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}

Ilyukhin shook his head in disapproval and tutted throughout the runout of the {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{q-Spades}{5-Hearts} board as Biz held with the higher pocket pair to double up.

Over on the other table, Farid Chati had also just doubled up in an unknown hand.

Ludovic Geilich

The flop read {j-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{5-Spades} with five players in the hand. Rahul Melwani bet 600 from the lojack and Ludovic Geilich pushed his last 1,100 in from the cutoff. The players on the button, and in the blinds all folded while Melwani made the call.

Ludovic Geilich: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Rahul Melwani: {10-Hearts}{3-Hearts}

Geilich held the overpair and Melwani had the pair of treys.

"Might as well give him the ten!" Geilich commented.

The turn was the {7-Hearts} which kept Geilich safe but the {10-Spades} on the river sent Geilich to the rail again after having lost his first hand in Day 1a when he ran his {a-}{q-} into the {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} of his opponent.
