Norden Gets There on the Turn

Christian Zetzsche

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Daniel Rezaei got some chips back from Quan Zhou and next up it was Alexander Norden who ended up involved in the action.

The flop showed and Ilya Bulychev checked out of the big blind, prompting a bet of 48,000 by Norden on the button. Bulychev check-raised for the size of the pot and Norden moved all in, Bulychev called.

Alexander Norden:
Ilya Bulychev:

In a classic PLO setup, Bulychev had flopped middle set against two top pair and nutflushdraw of Norden. On the turn, Norden immediately improved to a flush and now needed to avoid the board to pair. He did so with the river and doubled to further even out the stacks with 12 remaining.
