Tasyurek's Big Slick Holds Up
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Mikhail Shalamov opened to 60,000 from middle position and Yisha Chen called in the cutoff before Halil Tasyurek shoved for 425,000 from the button. Once the action got back to Shalamov, he shoved, and Chen folded.
Halil Tasyurek: A?K? 
Mikhail Shalamov: A?J?
Tasyurek was in front and maintained his lead after the 5?2?5? flop, but that also brought around some chop outs. The 9? turn improved Tasyurek to a flush draw, which removed some outs for Shalamov. Tasyurek's double-up was confirmed on the 4? river as his ace-king held up, which boosted his stack to around a million.
