Ipekoglu Cracks Aces to Double
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Jovan Kenjic opened to 30,000 from under the gun before Ali El-Siblani three-bet to 75,000 from middle position. Umutcan Ipekoglu called in the big blind and Kenjic called as well.
The flop came K?Q?5? and Ipekoglu lead out with 55,000 bet. Kenjic called before El-Siblani raised to 250,000. Ipekoglu moved all in for 505,000 and Kenjic got out of the way while Siblani made the call with a covering stack to put Ipekoglu at risk.
Umutcan Ipekoglu: Q?Q?
Ali El-Siblani: A?A?
Ipekoglu was in excellent shape with middle set and only needed to fade two outs to avoid elimination. The 2? turn and 10? river were clean and he collected a full double up with the money bubble rapidly approaching.
