Eldabach Hits an Ace; Langrock Rues His Fold
Level 28
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Dorel Eldabach raised to 500,000 under the gun with A♣9♥9♦8♣ and Ali Balci called on the button with J♠J♥9♠2♥.
Sebastian Langrock, in the small blind, looked down at K♠K♦8♥6♠ and gave it some thought before ultimately mucking as Eldabach and Balci went heads-up.
The flop came K♥7♣7♥ and Langrock smiled and looked up at the sky as he would've flopped a full house. Eldabach led out for 400,000 and Balci called.
Eldabach bet another 320,000 on the A♠ turn after making two pair and Balci quickly called. Eldabach slowed down and checked the 10♣ river.
Balci paused for about a minute before tapping the felt as Eldabach took the pot.
