Kuru Knocks Out Messouat

Ben Weiss

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

A five-way pot preflop started with the under-the-gun player opening to 2,000. Serkan Kuru and [Removed:476] called in the hijack and on the button respectively, before the small and big blinds also called.

The flop came 10?3?2?, and after the small blind, big blind and under the gun all checked, Kuru led out for 6,000. Messouat was next to act and he raised to 18,000, prompting all other players to instantly fold apart from Kuru. The German tanked, then shoved all in and got the call from Messouat, who was at risk.

[Removed:476]: 10?8?
Serkan Kuru: A?10?

With Messouat being outkicked, the 4? on the turn offered no help to the Frenchman.

His exit was confirmed on the river, as the 4? landed, scooping Kuru the pot.
