Ekrem Bozkurt opened to 50,000 in middle position and Katherine Porrello three-bet to 125,000 in the hijack. Bozkurt responded with a four-bet to 325,000 and Porrello shoved all in for just over 700,000. Bozkurt snap-called and the cards were on their backs.
Katherine Porrello: A♣K♦
Ekrem Bozkurt: A♠A♦
