Tasyurek Checks Back Trips, Simon Folds Two Pair
Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Marc Foggin opened to 100,000 in the cutoff and received three calls, including Halil Tasyurek on the button, Jose Gonzalez Sanchez in the small blind, and big blind Gilles Simon.
The flop came A?K?J? and action checked to Tasyurek who bet 100,000. Only Gonzalez Sanchez and Simon called as Foggin gave up 6?6?.
Gonzalez Sanchez led out for 450,000 on the 2? turn and Simon tanked for a moment before laying down two pair with K?J?. Tasyurek, though, called to see the A? river.
Gonzalez Sanchez then checked and Tasyurek paused for nearly a minute before checking back. Gonzalez Sanchez showed A?9? for trip aces, but Tasyurek had A?Q? to win the pot with his queen-kicker.
