Kazici Building Monster Stack After Busting Nicolaou

Level 3 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Sakis Nicolaou bet 3,500 from middle position on a board of {q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and Salih Kazici called in the small blind.

The river came the {j-Diamonds} and Kazici immediately announced he was all in, pushing his already sizeable stack in the middle. Nicolaou, with around 60,000 remaining, tanked for about a minute before calling.

Kazici slowly turned over the {a-Hearts}, followed by the {8-Hearts} for the nut flush. Nicolaou let out a loud groan before showing {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts} for a smaller flush.

"I am so sorry for you," Kazici told Nicolaou before he made his exit.
