Carnage at Table #469

Claudio Elizalde

Level 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

On a turn reading 7?10?9?K?, Romuald Czekata placed a bet of 14,500 and was called by Burcu Dagli on his direct left. When it got to Russel Ramuten on the button, he increased the asking price to an all in of 45,900.

Czekata made the call and Dagli put the rest of her chips in, making it 4,100 more to Czekata and he called. There would be no more action on the river and all players were drawing live to a scoop when cards were on their backs.

Russel Ramuten: Q?J?
Burcu Dagli: A?6?
Romuald Czekata: 10?10?

Ramuten had the nut straight on the turn, Dagli had the nut flush draw and a bad gut shot, and Czekata had a set of tens and needed the board to pair.

The river changed only a little with the 8?, which awarded Ramuten the main pot, but it did make Dagli the low end of the straight to beat Ramuten for the side pot.

The very next hand:

Burcu went all in from early position for her last 8,000 in chips and was called by Czekata in the big blind.

Burcu Dagli: 9?9?
Romuald Czekata: A?3?

Czekata liked the flop as it came 4?Q?5?, giving him a straight-flush draw and when the A? rolled off on the turn, Dagli collected her belongings and went on her way when the river bricked out.
