Power Play from Mazlum

Acar Mazlum
Acar Mazlum
The pot has 9,000 in it pre-flop and {J-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} is dealt. Acar Mazlum bets 12,000 first to speak and is called by his opponent.

The turn comes {J-Clubs} and Mazlum moves all in, forcing a fold from his opponent. He moves over 150,000 in chips after the hand.

Matt Tyler has named him the "Swiss Fish," while Acar has been calling Matt "English Tilt." Matt also claimed to have folded a jack in the hand pre-flop which would have likely given him a timely double up.

Play Restarts

Play has restarted and it seems a lot cagier than pre-dinner. So far in the first ten minutes no big pots which seemed to happen every couple of hands before.

Play will cease when 40 players remain.
