Balci Gets Estanislau to Lay Down Top Pair
Level 25
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Samuel Albeck limped in from early position and Ali Balci called with A?7?6?5? in the hijack before Joao Estanislau, on the button, raised to 400,000 holding K?Q?7?5?.
Albeck folded, but Balci stuck around to see the 3?10?Q? flop. Both players checked and the 4? fell on the river.
Balci then led out for 300,000 with his straight draw and Estanislau quickly folded his flopped top pair.
