Strange Decision Sees Ates Add To Stack
Usually when a player has not been dealt any hole cards the hand is declared a misdeal and new hole cards issued, but that was ot the case just now over on Table 2.
Kursat Bayraku had opened to 250 from early position and the players started to fold their own holdings. That was until the action reached Suleyman Ciftsuren who lifted his hands up in the air to show he had not been dealt any hole cards!
"Misdeal," came the cry from more than one player; and the floor was called for.
One of the floorstaff, sporting a bright pink dress, ruled the hand was not a misdeal and that the hand should be played out. Ciftsuren did not look too pleased with the decision but he accepted it, took a drink of tea and the hand was played out.
The only caller of Bayraku's bet was the big blind, Ohran Ates who then checked the arrival of the 
flop. Ates then quickly called as Bayraku made it 350 to play.
The turn was the 
and again Ates tapped the table and checked. Bayraku showed no signs of slowing down and he set the price to play at 800 but Ates already had his calling chips in his hand and snap-called.
The river was the 
and Ates checked for a third time. Bayraku checked behind and was shown 
that had turned a straight.
