A Lot of Aces "for the Ukraine"

Level 6 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Orpen Kisacikoglu
Orpen Kisacikoglu

Orpen Kisacikoglu was left with just two red T-500 chips and those went in preflop. He earned multiple callers and Belarmino de Souza then jammed for 117,000 total. Zhong Chen called with the covering stack to set up the following three-way showdown.

Orpen Kisacikoglu: {q-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}
Belarmino De Souza: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Zhong Chen: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}

The {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades} board kept Kisacikoglu in contention while De Souza was eliminated. Kisacikoglu then doubled two times including with aces only to get it in preflop for 30,000 once more. He was looked up by Alexandros Theologis and there were some chuckles at the table when the cards were flipped over.

Orpen Kisacikoglu: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}
Alexandros Theologis: {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

Theologis picked up outs on the {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{j-Spades} flop but bricked the {9-Spades} turn and {3-Hearts} river.

"It's all for the Ukraine," Kisacioglu said as he will be donating a part of his winnings. "I think you will see a lot of aces during this trip," another player at the table remarked.
