Demirkol Tanks With the Second Nuts
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
The pot stood at approximately 185,000 with two players looking at a full board that read 7♣10♦J♠Q♥9♣.
Mehmet Demirkol, in the big blind, checked the action over to Cecile Ticherfatine, who was under the gun. Ticherfatine placed a sizeable bet of 200,000 and Demirkol went into the tank.
Demirkol thought for so long the clock was called. Within the remaining seconds of his countdown, he flicked in a singular chip. Ticherfatine tabled K♥Q♣ with confidence, and was somewhat annoyed to see Demirkol held K♠J♥.
Both players chopped this pot with a king-high straight. "What were you thinking about?" Ticherfatine asked as she took back her initial bet.
