A Cypriot Says Goodbye
Showdown
Kara:
Torbaoglu:
For the second time today, pocket fours and pocket jacks had both flopped a set, and it was Cemil Kara on the wrong end of the encounter this time. The turn and river blanked off with the and respectively, sending the pot over to Torbaoglu.
The dealer had eyeballed the chips and had taken Kara's entire stack away from him. Kara thought it was a little too close not to count though, and the floor was summoned over to reconstruct the pot.
After more than a five-minute ordeal involving everyone at the table, the dealer, and at least three floor persons, they eventually settled the pot and counted down Kara's stack. Indeed, he was covered by about 1,500 chips, his day at the tables having met an early end.
