: 50/100, 0 ante
On a flop of

Janian bet another 1,500 on the 
turn and again Kisacikoglu called.
With the pot relatively big already, Janian wasn't backing down on the 
river. He bet 2,000 and action was on Kisacikoglu. The Turkish high roller thought for a bit before he tossed his cards into the muck. Janian was kind enough to show his
