Balci Leaves Kozub on the Ropes
Level 26
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Sebastian Langrock opened to 275,000 with the 10?9?7?6? and Oswin Ziegelbecker three-bet to 975,000 with the A?K?K?3?. It folded back to the initial raiser and Langrock folded.
Tomasz Kozub then raised to 275,000 with the A?K?Q?2? first to act and Ali Balci defended the 6?6?4?2? in the big blind. Balci flopped gin on 5?3?2? and checked, Kozub checked it back.
Balci then bet the K? turn for the size of the pot, worth 700,000 total. Kozub stuck around to the J? river on which Balci bet the pot for another 2,100,000 with just 65,000 behind. The call of Kozub followed a few seconds later and the Pole tossed his cards towards the middle of the table with plenty of frustration.
