Gulseven Survives With Aces

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

With around 40,000 in the pot, three players saw a flop of {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}. Abdallah Fakhreddine in the small blind led out for 40,000 before Erdal Gulseven, in the big blind, moved all in for 81,000.

An opponent on the button quickly folded, but Fakhreddine asked for a count before calling with {q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}. Gulseven turned over {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs} and needed his aces to hold on to survive.

The {5-Clubs} on the turn was safe, while the river {8-Clubs} improved him to the nut flush as Gulseven doubled up.
