Baybars Busts Blebea in Massive Pot

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

With around 300,000 already in the chip, Iulian-Remus Blebea bet 175,000 from the big blind on a flop of {8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts} and both Halil Baybars and Tamer Abdelzaher in the small blind called.

The turn came the {3-Hearts} and action checked to Baybars, who slid forward 500,000. Abdelzaher quickly folded, but Blebea tanked for a few minutes before calling.

Blebea checked again on the {4-Diamonds} river before Baybars moved all in. Blebea called for his last 100,000 as Baybars showed {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts} for a flush.

"Do I have to show," Blebea asked before turning over {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}. He stopped to take a picture of the board before heading to the payout desk.
