Bozkurt Cracks Aces To Double Up
Dec 23, '19
Hiroaki Harada raised to 25,000 and Ekrem Bozkurt shoved for 103,000 behind him. George Wolff then flat-called from the blinds, prompting Harada to go deep into the tank.
Wolff thought it over for about a minute before folding, and was happy to see Wolff turn over pocket aces to confirm his suspicions. Bozkurt held pocket threes and needed a lot of help to survive, and he got it when the dealer produced a board of J8737.
Bozkurt more than doubled up, but is still among the short stacks.
