The top 101 players will make the money.
Yucel Eminoglu opened to 25,000 in early position before Constantin Erhan moved all in for his last 24,000 in middle position. Action folded around to the big blind, who made the call.
With Erhan at risk, both players checked through the entire 5♣5♦4♥2♣6♦ runout.
"Ace-high," said Eminoglu as he turned over A♣Q♦. Erhan was surprised to see that his A♠2♠ was the best hand with two pair, taking down the pot to triple his stack.
