Small Pair Does the Job for Celik
Level 1
: 200/500, 500 ante
Nikolay Tyurin opened to 1,200 from middle position and received calls from Jihad Yehya in the small blind and Bulut Celik in the big blind.
The flop came 2?2?4? and action checked back around to Tyurin who fired a 2,000 continuation bet. Yehya got out of the way while Celik made the call.
Celik check-called another bet from Tyurin on the 7? turn, this time for 3,500.
Both players checked the 3? river. Celik tabled 5?3? for a missed flush and straight draw that turned into two pair on the river to take down an early pot.
