Battle of the Blinds

Diren Yildiz raised to 4,000 from the small blind and Steven Chung called from the big blind. The flop came down {A-Spades} {8-Spades} {8-Hearts} and the battle of the blinds had begun.

Yildiz fired a bet of 4,000 and Chung made a raise to 8,000. Yildiz called.

The turn was the {Q-Diamonds} and Yildiz came out with a blistering bet of 25,000. Chung then catapulted an all-in raise to 116,300. Yildiz made the call. Yildiz held {9-Spades} {8-Diamonds}, but Chung had him hanging with the {Q-Hearts} {8-Clubs}.

The river was placed down on the felt the {2-Diamonds} and Chung would be triumphant in this battle. Yildiz plummeted to 50,000 chips and Steven Chung skyrocketed well over 200,000.
