With the board reading Kd8h7d8c and about 4,000 in the pot, chip leader Muzaffer Yesilce checked from the small blind. The player under the gun bet 2,000, the player on the button raised to 4,500, and Yesilce check-reraised to 12,000. After a few moments the UTG player folded, leading to the player on the button reraising all in for about 24,000.

Yesilce called with 8d7c for a full house, eights full of sevens, leading his opponent’s 9d8s for trip eights. The river was the As, securing the pot for Yesilce and giving him about 163,000.
