With around 55,000 already in the pot, Ali Tekintamgac moves all-in for an additional 139,000 from the small blind. Will Failla is in the cutoff and he is the only other player in the hand. Failla thinks a minute or two before silently calling.
Tekintamgac stands and turns over [9s9d]. Failla lets out a sigh as he turns over [7d7h]. The board runs out [AcAs5s5h6d] and Tekintamgac’s nines holds to double him up.
"I tried," Failla tells the table as Tekintamgac stacks his chips.
Ali Tekintamgac – 335,000 (41 BBs)
Will Failla – 250,000 (31 BBs)
