Tasyurek Calls with King-High
Level 8
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Halil Tasyurek opened to 5,000 from under the gun and received calls from Alisa Sibgatova in middle position, Ivan Govorov on the button and Abdelmajid Chiboub in the small blind.
All four players checked the 10♠6♥9♣ flop leading to the 10♣ on the turn. Tasyurek bet 9,000 and was called by Sibgatova while both Govorov and Chiboub got out of the way.
Tasyurek checked on the 6♦ river and Sibgatova bet 15,000. Tasyurek snap-called.
Sibgatova could only show down 5♦5♣ for a pair of fives that had been counterfeited by the double board-pairing river. Tasyurek tabled K♣Q♥ for just a king kicker to the two pair that was already on the board to take down a sizable pot.
