Connor Richards

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Atmaca bet 15,000 on the flop and Ansarian called. Atmaca then moved all in for 41,000 on the turn and Ansarian went deep in the tank as he counted out his chips and shuffled them around, somewhat similar to a move that got him in hot water yesterday. Eventually, Ansarian called.

Payam Ansarian:

Atmaca's king was ahead and Ansarian was looking for a diamond for the nut flush or an ace for a better pair. Neither came as the river was a blank and Atmaca secured the double.

"I knew he had a pair," said Ansarian.
