A player in the hijack had opened and was called by Huseyin Akgul in the cutoff. A player in the big blind put in a three-bet that forced the original raiser out while Akgul made the call creating a pot of roughly 25,000 going into the flop.

The flop came 5?4?2? and the big blind fired a 10,000 continuation bet. Akgul made the call.

Akgul called another bet on the 8? turn, this time for 32,000.

On the K? river the big blind bet again for 45,000 and Akgul called the third barrel.

The big blind could only should A?Q? for a bluff while Akgul tabled 7?5? for just a pair of fives to take down a sizable pot.
