Bansal Raise-Folds; Kurtulus and Krakow Enter Another Confrontation
Level 31
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Paawan Bansal made it 300,000 to go in the cutoff, holding K♥J♠. Bora Kurtulus put him to the test by jamming all in with A♣2♣, and Bansal elected to fold and preserve his stack of nearly 2,000,000.
The next hand, Kurtulus opened his button to 300,000, and Matan Krakow called in the big blind.
The table was knuckled twice on both the 10♠9♣7♣ flop and Q♦ turn, prompting Krakow to bet 225,000 on the 3♦ river.
Kurtulus quickly called for Krakow to table 9♠5♠ for middle pair. Kurtulus had the same pair, but with K♦9♥, he won the pot with a higher kicker.
