Level 19 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Hand #176: David Peters limped in on the button with {8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and Dan Smith raised to 125,000 with {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} in the big blind. Peters folded and Smith took the first pot of heads-up play.

Hand #177: Smith opened to 80,000 with {q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and Peters three-bet to 340,000 with {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}. Smith quickly sent his cards to the muck.

Hand #178: Peters made it 120,000 to go with {q-Spades}{5-Clubs} and Smith defended with {k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}. The flop fell {10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{4-Hearts} and Smith check-called a bet of 230,000 from Peters.

The turn brought the {q-Clubs} and Smith checked again. Peters checked back after making a pair of queens and the {4-Diamonds} paired the board on the river. Smith led out for 180,000 and Peters made an easy call.

Hand #179: Smith opened to 80,000 with {9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and Peters looked down at {q-Hearts}{5-Clubs} again before calling. The flop fell {q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{4-Spades} and both players checked to the {a-Spades} on the turn.

Koray Aldemir Eliminated in 3rd Place ($400,000)

Level 19 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Koray Aldemir - 3rd Place
Koray Aldemir - 3rd Place

Hand #175: From the button, Koray Aldemir shoved all in for 300,000 and Dan Smith called in the small blind.

Aldemir: {A-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Smith: {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}

Aldemir was at-risk and trailing, and when the flop landed {10-Clubs}{3-Spades}{4-Diamonds} he would be searching for one of the remaining aces in the deck.

The turn fell the {3-Hearts}, and down to just three outs, the river of the {8-Diamonds} completed the board to send Aldemir to the rail in 3rd place for a $400,000 payday.

Level 19 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Hand #169: David Peters defended big blind with {k-Spades}{10-Spades} when Koray Aldemir opened {9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}.

On the {6-Spades}{9-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} flop, Peters checked and Aldemir bet 40,000 into 140,000. Peters called and they saw a {10-Diamonds} hit. Both checked, and the {4-Clubs} saw the same action, so Peters won the showdown.

Hand #170: Peters completed with {5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and Aldemir checked with {9-Clubs}{2-Hearts}.

Peters bet the {7-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{8-Spades} flop and Aldemir released.

Hand #171: Aldemir completed with {j-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and Dan Smith checked the {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}.

After two checks, the board read {9-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and Aldemir bet 135,000, slightly over the pot. Smith went nowhere and the river was the {9-Hearts}. Aldemir checked and knuckled the felt, winning the showdown with his fives.

Hand #172: Smith completed with {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and Peters checked with {q-Spades}{8-Hearts}.

Both hit the {j-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} flop and Smith check-called 50,000. The turn was a {10-Spades} and Smith checked. Peters took a free one, which was the {4-Clubs}. Smith checked and Peters put in 140,000. Smith let it go.

Hand #173: Peters shoved all in with {q-Spades}{8-Clubs} and Aldemir mucked his {10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}.

Hand #174: Peters opened to 80,000 with {j-Spades}{4-Spades} and Smith defended with {a-Hearts}{2-Spades}.

Smith checked the {2-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop and Peters bet 75,000. Smith called, bringing an {8-Spades}. Check-check and a {2-Clubs} gave Smith a boat. No further chips went into the pot.

Hand #165: Dan Smith received a walk in the big blind.

Hand #166: It was David Peters' turn to pick up a walk this time.

Hand #167: Dan Smith limped on the button with {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and David Peters announced all in with {10-Spades}{9-Spades} in the small blind. Smith was put to the test for his remaining 985,000 but elected to fold.

Hand #168: David Peters raised to 80,000 on the button with {9-Spades}{4-Spades} and Dan Smith called in the big blind with {8-Spades}{7-Hearts}. The flop came {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and Smith checked to Peters who continued for 110,000. Smith shipped all in and Peters made the call.

Smith was at risk and would need some help to stay alive. The {10-Clubs} on the turn gave Smith a straight draw and the {6-Spades} on the river earned him a double up.

Hands #163-164: Peters Strikes Broadway to Double

Hand #163: David Peters received a walk in the big blind.

Hand #164: From the button, Dan Smith opened his {3-Spades}{3-Hearts} to 80,000 and David Peters shoved all in for 1,500,000 from the small blind.

From the big blind, Koray Aldemir called, and Smith quickly folded.

Peters: {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Aldemir: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

Peters was at-risk and trailing, but had two overcards in a classic flip. The dealer spread a {5-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop to give Peters backdoor outs to a flush and straight.

The turn of the {K-Hearts} was one of those runner-runner outs to now give Peters a gutshot, and when the dealer revealed the {J-Clubs} on the river, Peters doubled through.
