Noori Cracks Aces on the Turn
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Zaid Noori moved all in for 46,500 from early position and Kirill Burtin splashed in some blue 5,000 chips from the button to put him at risk.
Zaid Noori: A♥3♥
Kirill Burtin: A♦A♣
Burtin had picked up aces to leave Noori in jeopardy of elimination as the flop came 3♦Q♦8♦. The turn, though, brought the 3♠ and Noori improved to trips to take the lead.
Burtin was drawing to either a flush or the last ace in the deck but didn't hit either on the 7♠ river as Noori doubled up.
