Altinbasak More Than Doubles as Hu Sent to Rail
Level 9
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
The hand kicked off with an early position raise to 8,000, which was called by the cutoff and Kadir Altinbasak on the button. Chengxu Hu then moved all in from the small blind for 30,000. The early position player called and Altinbasak also flicked in a call.
The flop came K♠4♣5♥ and short-stacked Altinbasak got the last of his chips in the middle against the early position player, leaving three players to reveal their cards.
Chengxu Hu: 7♠7♥
Kadir Altinbasak: A♠9♠
Early Position Player: K♣J♠
Hu was already badly behind and Altinbasak was also in bad shape, until the turn came the A♦ to give him top pair. He held on the 8♦ river to earn more than a double up, while Hu was eliminated.
