Balli’s Straight Sweeps Two Ladies Out the Door

Sava Krink

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

With her last 10,000 chips, Yvonne Fuege moved all-in from early position. Sali Elias, seated next to Fuege, raised to 50,000, and Berkan Balli, from the button, re-raised enough to put Elias all-in, covering both players. Elias made the call, setting up a three-way showdown for survival.

Yvonne Fuege: A?J? All in
Sali Elias: K?K? All in
Berkan Balli: A?K?

The flop brought plenty of drama, showing Q?10?9?, giving hope for multiple draws.

The turn came Q?, keeping Elias in the lead with her pocket kings.

However, the river changed everything as the J? completed Balli's straight, knocking out both Fuege and Elias in a single hand. Balli scooped the pot and sent both ladies to the rail.
