Koray Turker has emerged as our new chipleader, ammassing a monster 300,000 in chips.
Our friends at the PokerStars Blog were kind enough to give us the details of an interesting hand that highlights how Koray is managing to run over his table.
Apparently Turker put in a four-bet to 32,000 only to call off a shove from his three-betting opponent, with Turker holding only . Turker's opponent held and was looking good with a board showing , but the river would ensure Turker continued his domination, with the dealing the fatal blow to Turker's opponent.
Unfortunately for David Gorr, he won't be crowned this year's APPT Melbourne champion, but fortunately for Gorr, Melbourne has been good to him in the past with some nice scores, including taking down the Aussie Millions earlier this year for a hefty $2 million first prize.
There was some talk over at Jesse McKenzie's table about his recent victory in the PokerStars Sunday Million, where McKenzie took down the $179,678.88 first prize.
While the discussion kept going the action at the table came to McKenzie, who raised it to 4,400 from the button, with one caller behind. The play then moved to Jonathan Karamalikis in the big blind, who asked McKenzie how much he had behind before reraising it 11,700.
With the limper out of the picture, McKenzie thought for some time before deciding to let his hand go. The other player also folded and the pot went to Karamalikis.
