Balci Sends Baptista Out Before the Money

Christian Zetzsche

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

The flop showed Q♠5♣4♦ and Ali Balci opted for a bet worth 50,000. Duarte Baptista then raised the pot to 228,000 from one seat over with slightly more than that behind.

Balci went into the tank and briefly vaulted out of his seat to carefully study the stack size of his opponent before pushing all-in. Baptista called it off and the cards were revealed.

Duarte Baptista: A♣Q♦9♦6♣
Ali Balci: A♦A♠K♦5♠

Neither the 3♥ turn nor the 7♥ river brought any help and Baptista waved his goodbyes with a simple "nice hand".
