Budak Survives on the River
Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Mateusz Wozniak raised to 50,000 in early position, Justus Held three-bet to 180,000 in the small blind, and Erkan Budak moved all in for 265,000 in the big blind. Wozniak folded, later claiming he had two fives, while Held quickly called.
Erkan Budak: Q?J?
Justus Held: A?6?
The 9?10?5? flop gave Budak a straight draw, but Held picked up the nut flush draw on the 10? turn as Budak was already pushing his cards away and standing up from the table.
The river brought the K? and Budak spiked his straight as he let out a laugh and sat back down to collect his double up.
Aleksandar Tot was recently eliminated from this table.
