The player in middle position bet 1,500 and was called by Ghanim Dashti in the high jack and Olga Iermolcheva on the button.
The rather boring flop of 10♠2♠2♣ was checked by all three players. Middle position bet 2,500 on the 5♦ turn and was called by Dashti, and Iermolcheva folded.
The 7♥ completed the board and middle position bet 6,000 and was quickly called by Dashti. Middle position showed K♠Q♠ for a missed flush draw, while Dashti 9♣9♦ was good enough to drag in the pot.
With around 20,000 in the middle on the completed board of A♠Q♦7♦3♣4♠, Seref Dursun Anar bet 10,000 from the cut off. Shaoshui Li raised to 35,000 from the button.
Anar had a moment of contemplation before three-betting to 70,000. Li went into the tank and used one time bank card before making the call.
Anar tabled 7♠7♥ for a flopped set which saw Li throw his hand into the muck.
