Karaarslan Wins a Race on Palandiuk
Level 14
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Vasyl Palandiuk raised to 9,000 under the gun and picked up calls from early position and the cutoff. Feyzullah Karaarslan then moved all in for 88,500 in the small blind and Palandiuk called. The other two opponents both got out of the way.
Feyzullah Karaarslan: 6♦6♥ 
Vasyl Palandiuk: A♦Q♥
The flop came J♥7♥5♣ and the player in early position turned away from the table and let out a loud sigh. The rest of the board came 9♠7♠ and Karaarslan survived the flip to double up.
The early-position player admitted he folded two jacks after the hand, while the cutoff said he folded ace-jack.
