During a round of Seven-Card Stud, Ahmet Alper got it all in on 3rd street for 85,000 against Eric Polirer.

Eric Polirer:  (9h9c)  8c
Ahmet Alper:  (Qc7s)  Qd

Polirer had nines in the hole to Alper’s split queens. The dealer put out the rest of their boards, with their final cards face down.

Eric Polirer:  (9h9c)  8c10h6sJd  (Xx)
Ahmet Alper:  (Qc7s)  Qd2h6d2d  (Xx)

Alper had two pair, queens and deuces, and he needed it to hold to stay alive against Polirer’s pair of nines with an open-ended straight draw. Neither player could make a qualifying low.

Alper’s final card was the Jc, which didn’t improve him, but Polirer turned over the 10h, which gave him a lower two pair. Alper won the pot with queens and deuces to double up in chips.

Ahmet Alper  –  200,000  (3 BB)
Eric Polirer  –  450,000  (8 BB)

A few hands later, during Stud-8, they played another hand against each other.
