Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Nihat Karyagdi
Nihat Karyagdi

With players heads up on a board reading 37K10 and a sizable pot already brewing, Nihat Karyagdi checked and Khatanbaataqr Khandsuren bet 3,500. Karyagdi moved all in for approximately 30,000 and Khandsuren called, covering his opponent just slightly.

Nihat Karyagdi: AJ
Khatanbaataqr Khandsuren: 33

Both players had caught a big piece of the board, with Khandsuren having flopped a set while Karyagdi had turned the nut-flush. The board failed to pair on the J river and Karyagdi secured a full early double up while Khandsuren was left with just over ten big blinds.
