Erceylan's Run Comes to an End
Level 17
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Mohamed Mokrani opened to 160,000 and Mehmet Erceylan shoved his stack of around 350,000 into the middle. Mokrani dropped in a chip to call.
Mehmet Erceylan: 8♦8♠ 
Mohamed Mokrani: 10♦9♦
It was a flip but after the Q♣J♣K♦ flop, Erceylan's Main Event was hanging by a thread. A 2♦ on the turn sealed the deal as Erceylan had no way to beat the flopped straight of Mokrani, and a meaningless Q♠ filled out the board.
