Atmaca Catches a Miracle in Three-Way All In
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Aleksei Donets moved all in for 260,000 under the gun, Ercan Atmaca reshoved for 450,000 in early position, and Andras Balogh called on the button to put both players at risk.
Aleksei Donets: 7♥7♣
Ercan Atmaca: 6♣6♦
Andras Balogh: J♣J♦
Atmaca found himself with the third-best pocket pair as the Q♠2♠9♦ flop left Balogh poised to bust both players and collect the massive pot.
The turn, though, came the 6♠ and Atmaca made a set to take the lead. The 2♥ completed the board and Atmaca finished with a full house, doubling up off Balogh while sending Donets to the rail.
"My one time," he cried out.
