Kalkan More Than Doubles

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Ismail Kalkan
Ismail Kalkan

Gabriel Akiki raised from under the gun and Young Hwi Cho called in early position before Ismail Kalkan moved all in from the cutoff for 41,500. The big blind called for less and Akiki also called. Cho moved out the way.

Big Blind: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Ismail Kalkan: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Gabriel Akiki: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

Akiki shouted for an eight as he had both players covered however the flop put Kalkan on top as it came {a-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Spades}. There was no drama as the turn came the {9-Diamonds} and the river the {2-Clubs} to eliminate the big blind and give Kalkan a double up plus change.
