Balli’s Straight Sweeps Two Ladies Out the Door
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
With her last 10,000 chips, Yvonne Fuege moved all-in from early position. Sali Elias, seated next to Fuege, raised to 50,000, and Berkan Balli, from the button, re-raised enough to put Elias all-in, covering both players. Elias made the call, setting up a three-way showdown for survival.
Yvonne Fuege: A♠J♣
Sali Elias: K♠K♣
Berkan Balli: A♣K♥
The flop brought plenty of drama, showing Q♦10♦9♦, giving hope for multiple draws.
The turn came Q♠, keeping Elias in the lead with her pocket kings.
However, the river changed everything as the J♦ completed Balli's straight, knocking out both Fuege and Elias in a single hand. Balli scooped the pot and sent both ladies to the rail.
