Tasyurek's Kicker Plays

Level 2 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Halil Tasyurek
Halil Tasyurek

Halil Tasyurek opened the hijack to 1,100 and Arian Kashani called from the cutoff.

Both checked the 39A flop to the J turn, where Tasyurek bet big with a sizing of 3,200, which Kashani called.

A 2 on the river saw Tasyurek check it over to his opponent, who then bet 7,500. Tasyurek thought for a while, but did eventually toss in a call.

Kashani confidently flipped A5 for top pair, but he was out-kicked by Tasyurek, who tabled A7x. At first, the dealer didn't realize that it Tasyurek's pot and wanted to chop it up, but quickly fixed her mistake and sent the pot to its rightful owner.

There's nothing like being unintentionally needled by the dealer!
