Ugur Secilmis
Ugur Secilmis

Action folded to Ugur Secilmis in late position who opened to 60,000. The action folded to the big blind who defended. The players were off to a flop heads up.

The 6A3 flop hit the felt and Secilmis bet 40,000 when the action was checked to him. The big blind made the call.

The K landed on the turn and the big blind checked again. Secilmis thought for only a moment before putting out a bet of 200,000. The big blind made the call again.

The J landed on the river and this time the big blind thought for about a minute before putting out a blocker bet to the tune of 200,000. Secilmis snap called and they saw the hands.

The big blind turned over AQ for top top and Secilmis rolled over K6 for a very interesting turned two pair.
