Three Premiums Collide Leaving Dalkilic Done and Dusted
It's rare in poker to be dealt a premium, be to see three in one hand is extremely unlikely.
The action was recalled by the table where Erdal Gulseven raised from middle position and Bobby James called on the button. Saljo Curovic shoved the small blind for 79,000, and Mehmet Dalkilic called off his stack of around 60,000 from the big blind.
When the action was on Gulseven, he called to put both players at risk, and James folded.
Mehmet Dalkilic: K♠K♦ 
Saljo Curovic: AxAx
Erdal Gulseven: A♥K♥
Three of the best starting hands in hold'em, all face up for the table to see.
The flop of 7♦6♥8♠ didn't bring much in the way of spice, but the 4♠ turn meant any five would put a straight on board. Instead, the 8♣ dropped on the river, which meant Dalkilic was out, Curovic basically tripled up, and Gulseven lost a portion of his stack.
