Joshua McSwiney Bad Beats Sertac Turker
Sertac Turker raises to 8,000 and Siarhei Chudapal calls on the button. Joshua McSwiney then jams for 143,000 and Turker goes all-in over the top to force out Chudapal.
McSwiney is at risk with the J♦ T♦ and has a mountain to climb versus K♥ K♣ .
On the K♦ T♥ 9♦ flop, McSwiney says "okay, more of this," as he picks up a gutshot and flush draw. The J♣ turn is a blank but the A♦ river comes to the rescue.
One hand later, Turker gets the last 19,000 in with K♦ 9♦ and big stack Kimsour Kong calls from the big blind with 4♥ 3♥ . There is no upset this time on the A♠ 8♦ 5♣ T♣ runout.

He Zhou vs Sertac Turker
"This table always has action," Sertac Turker jokes not long ago. He is then involved in said action when he takes on He Zhou and bets the K♠ 7♣ 3♠ 2♥ turn on the button for 11,000 into 25,700. Zhou check-raises to 32,000 in the big blind and Turker folds to preserve the slightly bigger stack.
