Demirkol Makes the Right Choice on the Turn
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Mehmet Demirkol raised the cutoff to 160,000 with Aren Bezhanyan calling on the button, and Mohamed El-Wely defending his big blind.
Once El-Wely checked the K♠3♥Q♠ flop, Demirkol bet 150,000. Bezhanyan and El-Wely called.
The action checked to Bezhanyan on the 7♥ turn, and he placed out a bet of 535,000. El-Wely folded, but Demirkol went into the tank. After around two minutes, Demirkol jammed for roughly 1,000,000. Bezhanyan made the call.
Mehmet Demirkol: K♦8♦ 
Aren Bezhanyan: A♠2♠
Demirkol was ahead with top pair, but Bezhanyan had a flush draw with one card to come. The clean 9♣ fell on the river for Demirkol and he clenched his fist in celebration at having made the right decision.
