Bayrakci Builds Further
Level 4
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Mikhail Fedorov opened to 5,000 from middle position. Arsen Avetisyan flat-called in the cutoff, and Kursad Bayrakci and Ruslan Volkov defended their blinds.
It checked to Fedorov on the 10♥J♦7♠ flop, and he continued for 8,000. Avetisyan and Bayrakci both called, but Volkov raised to 36,000.
Fedorov called before Avetisyan folded. However, Bayrakci went for the third option and three-bet to 100,000. Volkov decided to fold, while Fedorov stuck around with another call.
Bayrakci then moved all in on the 5♥ turn. Fedorov had been put at risk for 129,000, but he decided to fold and preserve his stack after thinking it through.
As Bayrakci was shipped the pot, he allowed the table to pick one card to show, and the 9♥ was subsequently flipped up.
