Eminoglu Turns the Nuts, Khodiyara Drills the River
Yucel Eminoglu was confirming where his seat was with the floor as the break was ending, and didn't take too long get involved in a pot after settling into his chair.
With around 8,000 in the middle on a flop of 9♠J♥2♣, both Eminoglu and Hasmukh Khodiyara put in 2,200 on the flop to see the Q♥ fall on the turn. Eminoglu checked out of the big blind and Khodiyara fired 7,000 from the hijack. Eminoglu then shoved, and Khodiyara snap-called.
Hasmukh Khodiyara: J♣J♦ 
Yucel Eminoglu: K♣10♣
Eminoglu, who also goes by 'The Mad Turk', had turned the nuts and just needed to fade the board pairing on the river to secure the elimination. However, he couldn't find a brick as the 9♥ river gave Khodiyara a full house, which left Eminoglu with just 5,000 in his stack.
