Ekinci Back in Business

Livello 25 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Yunus Ekinci was forced all-in for 30,000 out of the blinds and his J♥6♠ was in rough shape. William Kang tabled the Q♦Q♥ and there was some uproar on the 7♣5♦4♦ flop when Ekinci spiked a straight draw.

Nothing changed with the 9♥ turn but the 3♠ river completed the straight.

Ekinci soon after doubled once more to keep his hopes of a deeper run alive.

Vadzim Lipauka open-shoved for 105,000 and Damien Duquellenec called from one seat over. Riadh Ben Farhat in the big blind tanked for a minute to then shove for more than half a million and Duquellenec snapped him off to put two players at risk.

Riadh Ben Farhat: J♦9♠
Damien Duquellenec: K♠K♦

Ben Farhat was caught with the fingers in the cookie jar and there was no upset in the cards. The A♠4♠3♥3♣Q♣ board provided no help to Lipauka either and Duquellenec scored a double knockout.
