Attila Saracoglu Sends a Trio to the Rail

Aug 24, 2024

A wild hand has just seen Attila Saracoglu essentially eliminate three players in one hand while rocketing up the chip counts.

Saracoglu opens from early position for 3,200 and is called by Andre Winkler to his immediate left.

Plamen Yordanov then moves all in for 29,000 from the hijack before Mehdi Yazdanpanah does likewise from the big blind for 18,000.

Now back on Saracoglu, he moves all in for 68,000 and after a bit of thought, Winkler decides to gamble, barely covering Saracoglu with 70,000.

Plamen Yordanov: Spade AClub K
Mehdi Yazdanpanah: Club AClub Q
Andre Winkler: Diamond ADiamond J

Saracoglu has the dream scenario to win a huge pot, and after the dealer spreads a board of Heart QHeart 7Diamond 4Spade 10Diamond 2, none of his opponents improve enough to crack his kings.

Yordanov and Yazdanpanah are eliminated immediately, and Winkler’s last 2,000 chips vanish in the following hand.

Yazdanpanah’s elimination was his sixth of the day and he has called it quits finally. Winkler has since rebought for the fifth time in the flight, while Yordanov is now back in for his second bullet.

Attila Saracoglu – 205,000 (128 bb)
Plamen Yordanov – 40,000 (25 bb)
Andre Winkler – 40,000 (25 bb)
Mehdi Yazdanpanah – eliminated
