We were watching the table for a few orbits and the player who caught our eye was Sadan Turker. Turker started the day as the chip leader but has been surpassed by quite a few people. That being said Turker still has a formidable stack and a ferocious appetite for big pots.
The name of Sadan Turker may not be a familiar name to the poker masses. The Londoner's biggest live cash to date came last year when he finished runner-up to Sean Getzwiller in the WSOP $1,000 No-Limit Hold-em bracelet event earning $377,411 in the process. Here are a few hands involving Turker.
Hand 1:
The action folded around to Sadan Turker in the small blind and he moved all-in forcing the big blind to play for his tournament life. The suspicious big blind tanked for a while before eventually folding.
Hand 2:
The action folded around to the hijack and the player moved all-in for 27,100. One fold later and Turker called on the button. The blinds folded and we had a heads up encounter with the hijack at risk of elimination.
