Necat Kaplan opens to 16,000 under the gun, and is met with a three-bet jam by Martin Burman of 143,000. Kaplan asks for a count before making the call with the covering stack.

Necat Kaplan: Heart KDiamond K.

Burman is in trouble with a single overcard, and the Club JClub 9Spade 3 flop looks clear for Kaplan. 

However the Diamond 8 turn gives Burman additional outs to the straight, and the Spade 10 rolls off on the river to send him the pot. In a near repeat of recent controversies, Burman doesn’t initially realize he got there, but his tablemates give him the good news, much to his embarrassment as he apologizes to his opponent.

Martin Burman – 301,000 (50 bb)
Necat Kaplan – 205,000 (34 bb)
