Krakow Captures Sizable Lead
Level 32
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Bora Kurtulus made it 600,000 to go from the small blind. Matan Krakow called in the big blind, seeing Kurtulus fire another 600,000 on the 6♥6♠10♣ flop.
Krakow called with his gutshot, after which he was checked to on the 5♥ turn. Krakow took the initiative with a bet of 900,000, but Kurtulus was not ready to give up on the pot as he called to the 9♥ river.
The two players quickly checked it to showdown. Kurtulus announced king-high and showed K♠Q♣. Krakow had rivered a pair with his 9♦7♠, earning him the pot and seeing him gain a significant lead over Kurtulus.
