Magradze's Stack Takes a Huge Hit After Turuskan Blunders
Beka Magradze had min-raised from under the gun and the action folded all the way around to Kerem Turuskan in the small blind. Turuskan then shoved for around 2,700,000, having not seen the open of Magradze. The big blind folded, then Magradze snap-called.
"I didn't see you open," said Turuskan.
To be fair to the Turkish player, he is sitting in seat eight with a slightly obstructed view of Magradze, who is seated in seat one. Either way, the damage was done and the chips were in the middle.
Kerem Turuskan: K?6? 
Beka Magradze: Q?Q?
It wasn't the worst spot that Turuskan could have found himself in and the situation flipped in his favor after the flop of 5?3?K?, much to the dismay of the Georgian rail. No queen arrived on either the 3? turn or J? river which meant Turuskan leapt up the leaderboard, and Magradze was left with just 700,000.
