Beast of a Flop

Melih Ekmek?io?lu

Melih Ekmek?io?lu has just doubled through Sargon Ruya, courtesy of a timely two-outer.

All of the money went in before the flop and Ekmek?io?lu's sixes were dominated by Ruya's queens. The {3-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} changed all that, however, giving Ekmek?io?lu top set, leaving Ruya drawing to one of the two remaining queens in the deck.

Blanks on the turn and river meant no miracle for Ruya, who was left with 46,900 in chips after the hand. Ekmek?io?lu improved to 106,000 with the win.
