Rezaei Enjoys the Beauty of the Game; Unlu Runs Out the Clock
Daniel Rezaei moved all in for 820,000 from the big blind and Adrian Mateos put him at risk in the cutoff.
Daniel Rezaei: 2♠2♣
Adrian Mateos: A♦9♦
Mateos hit top pair on the A♥8♠K♠ flop to take the lead, while the turn was the 9♠. The river brought the 3♠ to give Rezaei a flush and earn him a double up.
"That's what I hate about poker," tablemate Mikalai Vaskaboinikau said.
"What, runouts like that? That's the beauty of the game," Rezaei replied.
At another table, Sinan Unlu raised to 325,000 in the cutoff before Jean-Robert Bellande reraised to 600,000 on the button. "This is for you guys. Respect," Unlu said as he put in a few time banks as the clock ran out on the level. He took a peek at Bellande's cards before putting in his last 25,000 chip.
"One round penalty," Bellande joked.
"Your hand is dead," Mikita Badziakouski added.
Sinan Unlu: A♥2♥
Jean-Robert Bellande: A♣K♦
The board ran out 7♦4♠6♠3♠Q♦, and Bellande sent Unlu to the rail as the level came to a close.
