Cracked Aces Leave Tasyurek Short

Frank Visser

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Halil Tasyurek was in middle position and raised to 50,000. Chakib Mhiri defended his big blind and saw a flop of Q♦6♠K♥.

Mhiri checked, Tasyurek bet 85,000, and Mhiri called. The K♣ fell on the turn and was checked around. The 2♠ river then completed the board.

Mhiri checked again, after which Tasyurek bet 150,000. Mhiri raised to 400,000 and Tasyurek paid off.

Mhiri tabled K♦4♥ for trip kings, besting the A♥A♦ of Tasyurek, who was left with around ten big blinds.
