Cicioglu Clings On
Ali Cicioglu was all-in for his remaining 1,200 from middle position and Richard Trigg three-bet from the hijack. Action folded around, leaving the players to flip their cards.
Ali Cicioglu: K♣7♦
Richard Trigg: J♠J♥
Cicioglu needed to improve to stay alive but the 3♥7♥6♠ flop wasn't enough to secure him the double.
A 5♦ brought in the straight draw giving him more outs, and he locked up the double on the K♥ river.
Cicioglu moved all in again in the next hand, this time going up against his neighbour Ivan Angelov.
Ali Cicioglu: A♦3♥
Ivan Angelov: Q♣Q♥
It wasn't looking good for Cicioglu, but he saw an ace in the window on the 3♦4♠A♥ flop. He held and secured another double after being dealt the 9♦ turn and K♣ river.
He then collected more after jamming for a third time in a row, spinning up his stack to 8,200.
After the hand a player at the table remarked "One more (double up), and you are good."
