Kurtulus Blasts Krakow Off an Ace
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Maria Lampropulos raised to 120,000 in middle position and Bora Kurtulus called in the cutoff, while Matan Krakow also came along in the big blind.
Action checked around to Kurtulus on the A♥5♦8♥ flop, and he bet 140,000. Only Krakow called.
The turn was the 2♠ and Kurtulus bet another 425,000. Krakow again called, and the A♣ fell on the river. Kurtulus then moved all in for 1,360,000.
"Ace no good?" Krakow asked him as he went deep in the tank. "Good time to show a bluff," he added, turning over the A♠ and tossing it into the muck. Kurtulus returned his cards face down and took in the pot.
