Tasyurek Turns the Nuts and Gets Paid
Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Halil Tasyurek opened to 160,000 from the hijack and received calls from Gilles Simon on the button, Priit Parmasto in the small blind and Bjorn Kozenkai in the big blind.
All four players checked the A♠Q♣2♠ flop leading to the J♥ turn. Parmasto checked, Kozenkai checked, Tasyurek bet 250,000, Simon called, Parmasto folded and Kozenkai folded.
On the 7♥ river Tasyurek sized up with a bet of 1,000,000. Simon made the call.
Tasyurek tabled K♦10♦ for the nut-straight and Simon was forced to muck, accidentally revealing the Q♠ in his hand while doing so.
