Hu Comes From Behind to Bust Macunluoglu

Dan O'Hair

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Mehmet Macunluoglu raised to 11,000 from early position and Zhewen Hu three-bet to 22,000 from the hijack. Action folded back around to Macunluoglu, who called.

The flop came 3♦6♦5♥ and Macunluoglu shoved for approximately 40,000 total. Hu called, having Macunluoglu covered, and cards were revealed.

Mehmet Macunluoglu: 9♥9♦ All in
Zhewen Hu: A♠Q♦

Macunluoglu was well ahead with his overpair, but the Q♠ turn immediately paired Hu's queen to vault him into the lead.

The A♣ river needlessly improved Hu to two pair and he was sent the rest of Macunluoglu's chips.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

There were already around 30,000 chips in the pot on a board of 9♦3♦3♠7♥ when Benjamin Spragg checked it over to Nikolaos Oikonomou, who bet 20,000. Spragg called.

Spragg checked again when the Q♥ landed on the river, and Oikonomou fired a bet of 18,000. Spragg thought it over for around a minute and finally elected to call.

Oikonomou then immediately rolled over Q♠10♥ for a rivered pair of queens, and Spragg mucked.
