Level 9 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Danny Tang
Danny Tang

Orpen Kisacikoglu raised from the button, Danny Tang three-bet and Kisacikoglu called to go to the flop which came the {j-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}. Tang led out for 20,500 which Kisacikoglu called.

The turn was the {6-Hearts}. Tang check-called a bet of 40,000 from Kisacikoglu to build the pot to about 165,000.

The river was the {4-Clubs}. Tang checked again. Kisacikoglu fired out a bet of 75,000. Tang immediately tossed out all four of his remaining time cards to indicate it was going to be a long decision process.

He talked it out a bit asking Kisacikoglu "why so much?" at one point. As his last time bank was expiring, Tang tossed in the call.

Kisacikoglu tabled the {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} for king-high which Tang had beat with the {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} pocket pair and he collected the big pot.
