Atmaca Spikes River to Double via Axer
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Rene Kukenbrink opened to 1,200 and received a call from Wilhelm Axer on the button. Ercan Atmaca was in the small blind, and he three-bet jammed for 11,000.
Kukenbrink got out of the way but Axer called.
Ercan Atmaca: A♣Q♠ 
Wilhelm Axer: J♥10♥
Atmaca was ahead, but Axer went in front after the J♠10♠7♠ flop gave him top two pair. Atmaca had a spade draw, and while the A♦ turn did not alter matters, the 8♠ river gave him the queen-high flush and the double-up.
