Waters Stacks Stasiewicz

Level 19 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Bartosz Stasiewicz was fairly short to start the hand and got all his chips in the middle before the flop against Tom Waters.

Stasiewicz:
Waters:

Waters had the preflop advantage and Stasiewicz needed to improve to survive. The board ran out which gave Stasiewicz two pair but made the nut flush for Waters, so he took the pot to eliminate Stasiewicz and put his stack over the 24,000,000-chip mark.

Aldemir Eliminates Meless

simkha

Level 20 : 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Koray Aldemir raised to 525,000 from the cutoff, Aleksejs Meless three-bet jammed for what looked like 3,050,000 from the small blind, and after some consideration, Aldemir called to put Meless at risk.

Meless:
Aldemir:

Meless had the preflop advantage and Aldemir had to improve in order to stack him. The board ran out pairing Aldemir's jack, so he took the pot to send Meless to the cage.
