Alalam Gets Paid by Both Cristea and Akinci
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Bakhos Alalam, Umur Akinci, and Valentin Cristea had already built a pot of around 25,000 as they went three-handed to the river with the completed board showing 4♣4♥K♣9♣5♥.
Alalam, in middle position, then bet 7,000. Cristea quickly called in the cutoff, while Akinci took his time from the small blind before also calling.
Alalam then turned over J♣10♣ for a turned flush and Cristea mucked. Akinci flashed K♠Q♠ before he also surrendered the pot as Alalam moved up past 100,000.
