"What a Stupid Hand"; Gavrila, Tozlu Chop It Up
Level 16
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Mert Tozlu raised to 20,000 in the cutoff before Viorel Gavrila reraised enough to put him all in from the button. Tozlu tanked for a moment before calling for around 140,000 more.
Mert Tozlu: A?8?
Viorel Gavrila: A?K?
Tozlu found himself dominated and at risk as the 9?6?7? flop gave him a straight draw. "Yes," he cried out as the 5? turn completed his straight.
The river, though, brought the 8? and the two players chopped the pot with the straight on board. Tozlu leaned over the table and took a photo of the board.
"What a stupid hand," a tablemate added.
