Alberigo Sends Baykal to the Rail
Level 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.
