Kisacikoglu Gets Off to a Hot Start
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Orpen Kisacikoglu was one of the late entries to start Day 2 with a stack of 30,000 chips. However, in less than an hour, he has managed to build up an above-average stack. Kisacikoglu opened to 3,500 in early position and Sokratis Linares three-bet to 11,000 on the button. Kisacikoglu called and the dealer spread the J♠J♦4♥ flop.
Kisacikoglu check-called a bet of 10,000 from Linares and the 10♠ rolled off on the turn. Kisacikoglu checked again and Linares shoved all in for 20,000. Kisacikoglu thought for a minute before dropping in the call.
Linares tabled A♥9♦ for just ace-high while Kisacikoglu was out front with 9♥9♣. The river was the Q♠ and Linares was ousted in the first level of the day.
