Alberigo Sends Baykal to the Rail
Nivel 27
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
It was a classic battle of the blinds when Deniz Baykal, sitting in the small blind, decided to shove all in. Emilio Alberigo, in the big blind, took a brief moment to consider his options before making the call.
Deniz Baykal: K♥Q♣
Emilio Alberigo: A♣5♥
The flop looked promising for Baykal as it came down 7♣K♠7♥, giving him two pair—kings and sevens—putting him temporarily in the lead.
However, the tables swiftly turned when the A♠ hit the turn, pairing Alberigo’s ace and swinging the momentum in his favor. The river brought the 4♦, offering no further help to Baykal.
With that, Baykal was eliminated from the tournament, while Alberigo scooped up the pot and increased his stack.
