Balci Gets Estanislau to Lay Down Top Pair
Level 25
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Samuel Albeck limped in from early position and Ali Balci called with A♣7♦6♣5♥ in the hijack before Joao Estanislau, on the button, raised to 400,000 holding K♥Q♥7♣5♣.
Albeck folded, but Balci stuck around to see the 3♦10♦Q♠ flop. Both players checked and the 4♦ fell on the river.
Balci then led out for 300,000 with his straight draw and Estanislau quickly folded his flopped top pair.
