Ozbek Gets Massive Double to Begin the Day

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Four players saw a flop of {6-Clubs}{j-Spades}{5-Diamonds} as action checked to Gokhan Ozbek in the hijack who bet 4,500. A player in the small blind called before La Sengphet raised to 17,500 in the big blind.

Seyedahmad Haghgou called in middle position. Ozbek then tanked for nearly two minutes before he raised to 34,500. Sengphet got out of the way, but Haghgou called again.

The turn came the {9-Hearts} and Haghgou bet enough to put Ozbek all in. Ozbek called for his last 70,000 with {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds} for a set, while Haghgou had {j-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for two pair.

The river came the {k-Hearts} and Ozbek more than doubled his stack early on Day 2.
