Bitar Runs Into Tulepbergenov's Kings
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Ghassan Bitar raised to 24,000 in early position before Ara Melkisetian three-bet to 71,000 in the hijack. Azamat Tulepbergenov then moved all in for 461,000 in the small blind. Bitar tanked for a minute before calling, while Melkisetian got out of the way.
Azamat Tulepbergenov: K♦K♥
Ghassan Bitar: Q♠Q♦
Tulepbergenov had found kings and was a big favorite to double up as the board came a harmless 7♦3♥5♥8♠7♠, earning him the pot.
"He busts me," Melkisetian said after the hand.
