Six to the Flop, One Comes Out Victorious

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante
Khal Fayad
Khal Fayad

Anastasia Tyulyakova raised to 600 from under the gun. David Cleary called in the early position, Khal Fayad raised to 3,000 and was called by Vanig Kalpakian in the hijack. Aaron Blanch, on the button, also went along, as did Vesko Zmukic. Tyulyakova and Clearly also called.

The flop came {6-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{k-Spades}, Zmukic and Tyulyakova checked. Cleary bet 2,000 and Fayad raised to 7,000. Kalpakian called, Blanch, Zmukic, and Tyulyakova folded but Cleary called.

The turn brought them the {5-Hearts}, Cleary checked and Fayad shoved for 21,750. Kalpakian tanked for a while but opted to fold in the end while Cleary called for his last 4,100 or so.

David Cleary: {a-Spades}{9-Spades}
Khal Fayad: {k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

Cleary had flopped middle pair while Fayad had top pair.

The players at the table looked shocked and the dealer completed the board with the {5-Spades} to not change things as Cleary was sent to the rail.

Kalpakian and another player both claimed to have folded {a-}{k-}.
