Blind Raises Lead to Four-Way All-in
With some players at the table making blind raises under the gun, Albert Daher raised to 60,000 from the first position. Vedat Yilmaz called from the button, and then Semen Sorkin shoved all in for around 500,000 from the small blind. Not to be outdone, Fahredin Mustafov also moved all in for about 350,000 from the big blind. Daher called from his blind raise position, and Yilmaz called for his 650,000. The cards were turned over, with Daher having the opportunity to bust three players.
Vedat Yilmaz: 9♠7♠ 
Semen Sorkin:A♥6♥
Fahredin Mustafov: Q♦J♥
Albert Daher: Q♠Q♥
Daher had pocket queens after blind-raising, but needed to dodge most of the deck to secure the pot. The flop came down 8♦5♠10♣, giving Yilmaz and Mustafov a straight draw. The turn was the 2♥, keeping things unchanged, but the river brought the 6♣, giving Yilmaz the nut straight and securing the win with the worst starting hand.
Mustafov and Sorkin were eliminated, while Yilmaz more than tripled up with his straight.
