Atmaca Cracks Aces in Monster Hand; Busts Borowski
A hugely significant hand has just taken place.
Marcus Borowski opened to 245,000 under the gun and was three-bet to 690,000 by Kirill Burtin in the next seat. Action folded around to Ercan Atmaca on the button, who pondered his options for some time. Atmaca then produced the cold four-bet to 1,600,000.
Back to Borowski, who exhaled deeply before announcing he was all-in for 2,750,000 total. Burtin looked perplexed, and clearly had a decision, as he thought about the position for some time before folding.
The action moved back to Atmaca, who made a quick call, with Borowski at risk.
Marcus Borowski: A♣A♠
Ercan Atmaca: J♦J♠
Atmaca was in trouble, but the 7♠9♣10♦ flop give him additional hope with a straight draw, and sure enough the 8♥ rolled off on the turn to leave Borowski drawing dead.
The 6♠ completed the board, sending a huge pot to Atmaca and resulting in a cruel ending for Borowski.
