Esau Forces Out Batyrkhanov
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Paul Esau opened from early position and Meir Batyrkhanov called in the big blind.
They saw a flop of A♣J♦8♥, where Batyrkhanov check-called a bet of 65,000 from Esau to see the 9♣ fall on the turn. Again Batyrkhanov tapped the table, and again Esau bet, this time for 195,000. Batyrkhanov took his time with the decision and eventually decided on a fold.
