Akyel In The Rail

Level 6 : Blinds 700/1,500, 1,500 ante

In a 3-bet pot, three players agreed on 10,500 chips preflop to continue further and see the flop 7?9?6?. Mazen Halabi, in the small blind, and Ran Koller, in early position, checked. However, Ramazan Akyel, sitting in the cutoff, went all-in for 13,700 chips. Halabi raised to 30,000 chips, causing Koller to fold.

Ramazan Akyel: 6?5?
Mazen Halabi: Q?Q?

Akyel had a pair and a straight draw, but it wasn't enough to surpass Halabi's queens, even after the 7? turn and the 10? river. As Akyel was leaving, Halabi claimed the pot, boosting his stack to 255,000 chips.
