Huge Loss for Turker

Level 8 : 250/500, 75 ante

On a {8-Spades}{10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{6-Spades}, Sadan Turker fired 4,000 from the small blind into a pot of around 7,500.

After a long spell in the tank, Ivan Deyra raised it to 11,200, putting Turker to a decision. After some thought, he eventually called to see {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} in Deyra's hand for the straight.

"I should have folded here man!" said Turker after mucking his hand.

The river was the {a-Spades} and Ross checked for a third time.

"Wayne Gretzky," said Young, betting 9,900 in homage to 'The Great One'

Ross checked his cards. "That ace lost me a lot of money," he said, folding a {q-} face up.

"That river cost me a lot of money!" said Young in response.
