Level 21 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Orpen Kisacikoglu
Orpen Kisacikoglu

Orpen Kisacikoglu, who had 925,000, opened to 450,000 from under the gun. The action folded to Mikita Badziakouski, who was in the small blind and three-bet to 2,050,000. The big blind got out of the way and Kisacikoglu called off the remainder of his stack.

Orpen Kisacikoglu: AQ
Mikita Badziakouski: AK

Kisacikoglu was dominated and drawing to three immediate outs. No help arrived on the J97 flop, but the 8 turn gave the at-risk player a gutshot straight draw while Badziakouski picked up a flush draw. The 9 river completed Badziakouski's flush and confirmed Kisacikoglu's departure.
