Ilya Kitsbabashvili raises to 1,200 from the hijack and gets a call from the button before Engin Sezerer three-bets to 6,500 from the small blind. Only Kitsbabashvili calls to see a flop.

It comes and the players check to the turn.

Sezerer checks again and faces a bet of 12,000 from Kitsbabashvili. He then check-raises all in for about 56,000 which is quickly called by Kitsbabashvili.

Sezerer’s ambitious check-raise has landed his over 100 big blind stack in a heap of trouble and after the completes the board, his very healthy stack is slid across the table to Kitsbabashvili who now has one of the biggest stacks in the room.

Sezerer will have the option to re-enter until the start of Level 10.

Ilya Kitsbabashvili – 144,000 (288 bb)
Engin Sezerer – eliminated
