Muhammed Bozkurt raised to 3,500 under the gun and received two callers before Stelios Orphanides three-bet to 13,000 on the button. Ghassan Bitar called, but Jad Warde then moved all in for 50,000.

The table folded back to Orphanides who reshoved. "I'm going to gamble," Bitar said as he called off his last 30,000.

Ghassan Bitar: 76
Jad Warde: AQ
Stelios Orphanides: KJ

"I'm gambling too. We're all live," Orphanides said as the flop came 382. The turn was the K and Orphanides spiked his king to take the lead.

The 9 completed the board and Orphanides sent both opponents to the rail. "I had to gamble. A lot of dead money," he said.

Bozkurt Catches Al-Khasrab Making a Move

Livello 5 : Blinds 700/1,500, 1,500 ante

Muhammed Bozkurt and Mohammed Al-Khasrab engaged in a pre-flop raising war that ended when Al-Khasrab moved all in from early position and Bozkurt called for his last 84,500 on the button.

Muhammed Bozkurt: AK
Mohammed Al-Khasrab: 109

"Come on," Bozkurt pleaded, standing up from his seat and slapping his hands together as he awaited the board. The 332 flop was safe, while he made two pair on the A turn and left Al-Khasrab already drawing dead. The river was the 3 and Bozkurt doubled up.
