Bortsov Flops a Set and Gets Paid

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Viktor Yugay opened to 6,000 from early position before Umut Yukselier three-bet to 15,500 from middle position. Sergey Bortsov called in the hijack before Recep Ankarali four-bet to 36,000 from the button. Yugay got out of the way, Yukselier called for slightly less to put himself at risk and Bortsov called as well.

The flop came Q103. Ankarali bet 50,000, Bortsov moved all in for approximately 83,000 and Ankarali made the call to put Bortsov at risk.

Umut Yukselier: AK
Sergey Bortsov: 1010
Recep Ankarali: AK

Bortsov was well ahead with middle set and only needed to fade a gutshot straight draw from his opponents to avoid elimination. The 8 turn and 8 river were bricks and Bortsov received nearly a full triple up while Yukselier was sent to the rail and Ankarli was reduced to just roughly 16 big blinds.
