Blind on Blind Tussle Boosts Ozdemir

Will Shillibier

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

In a battle of the blinds, Johann Eclapier bet a suspiciously small 135,000 into a pot of approaching 600,000 with a board of spread in front of him.

Anil Olgun Ozdemir was the opponent who had to figure out what this bet meant. He called and Eclapier showed him . Ozdemir showed and took down the pot.

Afterwards, discussing the pot Ozdemir called Eclapier's sizing "ridiculous", but the pair continued to talk about the hand well into the next one.

Flutur Eliminated by Eclapier

Will Shillibier

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Johann Eclapier raised to 75,000 from the cutoff and Yuriy Kudrynskyy called on the button. Mircea Flutur three-bet all in for 530,000 from the big blind. Eclapier called and Kudrynskyy folded.

Eclapier:
Flutur:

Goje Wins Threeway All-in

Will Shillibier

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

The cards were on their backs between three players pre-flop with Samuel Viorel Goje all-in and at risk.

Goje:
Ozdemir:
Ciaca:

The flop came and Ozdemir was asking for a club. The turn was a and Goje's rail was asking in Romanian for what sounded like a deuce. How do we know? Because the river was the and his rail exploded as he catapulted his name up the leaderboard
