Ovalle Beats Temiz Back-to-Back to End Day 1a
Isaac Ovalle and Fuat Temiz clashed in back-to-back hands that had drastic ramifications for both players.
The first hand was the most costly for Temiz. The board read 7♠J♥2♠ with approximately 25,000 in the middle. Ovalle bet 25,000 and was called by Temiz.
The 9♥ turn led to a bet of 48,000 from Ovalle. Temiz raised to 100,000 and was called by Ovalle.
Ovalle shoved on the 8♦ river for 215,000. Temiz took some time before he put in the call.
Ovalle showed J♠10♠ for a straight, much to the disappointment of Temiz, who showed 7♦7♥.
This left Temiz with roughly 50,000.
On the next hand, they battled again after Ovalle opened to 23,000 from the hijack and was called by Temiz in the cutoff.
The flop came 7♠8♦3♠ before Ovalle shipped it. Temiz called to be at risk.
Fuat Temiz: Q♣9♠
Isaac Ovalle: K♦K♠
Ovalle was two cards away from securing the knockout, and the 2♣ turn sealed the deal as the meaningless 9♣ hit the river to knockout Temiz, who was a frontrunner into the final level of Day 1a.
