Ilhamur Doubles Through Tantillo

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Fausto Tantillo raised from under the gun. Recep Aydemir called on the button, Giorgii Shkulukhiia also flatted in the small blind. Osman Ilhamur jammed from the big blind, Tantillo re-jammed his amount which had everyone covered. Aydemir and Shkulukhiia showed their pocket pairs {3-}{3-} and {6-}{6-} as they folded.

Fausto Tantillo: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Osman Ilhamur: {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}

Tantillo got out his phone to record, as he would become a big chip leader if his nines were to hold. But the flop came {j-Spades}{k-Clubs}{5-Clubs} to put him behind. The turn was the {k-Spades} and the river the {j-Diamonds} to give the double to Ilhamur and cut some away from Tantillo.
