After a flop of Jc4d2c with about 19,000 already in the pot, Ivan Yatsuk checked from middle position, Erkem Bozkurt bet 11,000 from the hijack, and Yatsuk thought for a while before he check-raised to 28,000. Bozkurt thought for a while before he called.

The turn card was the 6d, Yatsuk thought for a while before he checked, and Bozkurt bet 37,000. Yatsuk went into the tank for a while before he check-raised all in for 104,000.

Bozkurt went into the tank for a long time before he folded, and Yatsuk showed his 2s2h (flopped set of deuces) as he took the pot.

Yatsuk asked Bozkurt if he had a jack, and Bozkurt nodded.

Ivan Yatsuk  –  216,000  (108 bb)
Ekrem Bozkurt  –  92,000  (46 bb)
