Cankurtaranli's Cowboys Secure Him the Double Up
Level 5
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
With roughly 220,000 in the middle and with the flop showing 3♣J♠6♦, Antoine Hasbani checked from the small blind and faced a bet of 70,000 by Tahsin Cankurtaranli out of the hijack. Hasbani check-raised to 225,000, which Cankurtaranli called.
The turn came the 2♦ and after a few moments, Hasbani shoved for Cankurtaranli's remaining 670,000. Cankurtaranli snap-called.
Tahsin Cankurtaranli: K♥K♦ 
Antoine Hasbani: A♦K♣
Cankurtaranli was ahead with his overpair and needed to avoid an ace on the river to double-up. A clean 8♦ hit the river and Cankurtaranli took down the pot.
