Getzwiller Rivers Turker for Chip Lead

Level 32 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Sean Getzwiller opened to his standard 350,000 from the button and Sadan Turker made the call to see a {2-Spades}{6-Hearts}{9-Clubs} flop fall.

Both players checked before Turker pushed out 355,000 when the {3-Clubs} landed on the turn. Getzwiller made the call, and when the {10-Diamonds} fell on the river, Turker checked.

Getzwiller pushed out 510,000 and Turker instantly made the call tabling his {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. Unfortunately for Turker, Getzwiller tabled his {Q-Spades}{10-Spades} for a rivered three-outer as he took the pot to move to 7,090,000 while Turker fell to 5,445,000 in chips.

Sadan Sniffs Out Sean's Bad Intentions

Level 32 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

After Sadan Turker opened to 330,000 on the button, Sean Getzwiller made the call and the flop fell {A-Clubs}{2-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. Getzwiller led out for 300,000 and Turker came along for the ride.

The turn card fell {K-Hearts} and both players opted to check.

The river was the {2-Clubs} and Getzwiller checked it yet again. After Turker checked behind, Getzmiller yelled "damn it!" and angrily threw down his {A-Spades}{2-Diamonds} for a full house. He told his friends on the rail that he thought Turker would bet it, and while he did not get much value from his boat, Getswiller did win the pot to continue climbing in the chip count.

Turker Tanks, Three-Bets, Then Folds

Level 32 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Sean Getzwiller opened the betting by raising to 350,000 on his button. In a departure from his usual quick action, Sadan Turker began rubbing his face while he slowly cut out stacks of chips. Eventually he settled on a three-bet to 775,000 and Getzwiller instantly waved his hands towards the pot, saying "all-in."

Turker did not need to tank this time and quickly tossed his cards towards the muck.

Sean Gitzwiller opened to 350,000 only to have Sadan Turker move all in for 3,820,000. Gitzwiller made the call.

Gitzwiller: {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}
Turker: {9-Hearts}{8-Spades}

With Gitzwiller in the lead and holding the chip advantage, the {8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop saw him give up the lead to Turker.

The {9-Diamonds} on the turn would put a lock on the hand for Turker as the {A-Spades} completed the board on the river.

With that pot, Turker climbs to 7,680,000 while leaving Getzwiller on 4,855,000 in chips.

Back From Break, Getzwiller Gets His Double

Level 33 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

After an opening bet by Sean Getzwiller, Sadan Turker three-bet for the rest of his chips and Getzwiller insta-called to put his tournament life at risk

Showdown:
Turker: {J-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Getzwiller: {A-Spades}{5-Spades}

Getzwiller was in front and needed to dodge jacks, tens or straight cards to double up and take the chip lead.

The flop of {5-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts} was a big swing and miss for Turker and he was down to six outs to win the bracelet.

Turn: {7-Clubs}
River: {7-Hearts}

Getzwiller's full house was good and he doubled his stack to over 9,000,000 chips, seizing the momentum in one of the first hands after returning to break. While his rail cheered in support, Getzwiller calmly brushed his shoulders off in jest, as if he knew he had it all along.
