Small Pair Does the Job for Celik
Level 1
: 200/500, 500 ante
Nikolay Tyurin opened to 1,200 from middle position and received calls from Jihad Yehya in the small blind and Bulut Celik in the big blind.
The flop came 2♠2♦4♥ and action checked back around to Tyurin who fired a 2,000 continuation bet. Yehya got out of the way while Celik made the call.
Celik check-called another bet from Tyurin on the 7♦ turn, this time for 3,500.
Both players checked the 3♠ river. Celik tabled 5♦3♦ for a missed flush and straight draw that turned into two pair on the river to take down an early pot.
