Stanciu Left With Crumbs as Kurtulus Gets Bluff Through
Level 32
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Bora Kurtulus opened his button to 400,000 with A♠8♣. Traian Stanciu defended his big blind with J♣9♦ off of his short stack, after which both players checked the K♦4♣10♦ flop.
Stanciu checked again on the 9♥ turn. Kurtulus fired a bet of 400,000 in response. Stanciu spent two of his time banks before deciding to call.
The river fell the 7♠. Stanciu checked a third time, prompting Kurtulus to snap-jam. Stanciu had been put all-in for his stack of 700,000, and he went back into the tank.
After using another time extension, Stanciu folded the best hand. Kurtulus shipped the pot to near the 20-million mark, while Stanciu was left with three and a half big blinds.
