Bacak's Stack Gets Smaller
Level 5
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Hulusi Bacak played a big pot against Dmitry Gromov in the opening level and his stack has never recovered. After the latest hand, Bacak was left with around 25,000, which is good for 20 big blinds.
There were already around 11,000 chips in the middle on a 7♣6♣K♥5♥ board when Bacak checked from the blinds and Andrii Novak fired 6,000. Bacak called.
An A♣ hit the river and after Bacak checked, Novak bet 35,000, which was more than what Bacak had remaining. Though there didn't see to be much of a decision for the Turkish player as he quickly folded, forfeiting the pot to Novak.
