Two Pair Helps Zhugralin to Double
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Damir Zhugralin raised the button to 5,500, and Mehmet Dalkilic three-bet to 14,500 from the big blind. Zhugralin called.
Dalkilic continued for 13,000 on the 5♦A♦6♥ flop and was met with a raise to 32,000 from Zhugralin. Dalkilic then jammed, covering Zhugralin, who called for his stack of 121,000.
Damir Zhugralin: 6♠5♠
Mehmet Dalkilic: A♠J♦
Dalkilic had top pair, but Zhugralin had flopped two pair to be on the verge of doubling up to over a quarter of a million chips.
The 9♠ turn and 4♣ river provided no help for Dalkilic, who was forced to surrender a large portion of his stack to Zhugralin.
