Aldemir Knocked Out by Martinez

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Koray Aldemir
Koray Aldemir

Jon Martinez raised it up to 3,200 and then saw the shove by Koray Aldemir follow from two seats over. The push by the 2019 WSOP Main Event champion was for 32,200 and Martinez called for around half of his remaining stack.

Koray Aldemir: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Jon Martinez: {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}

The {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} flop seemingly locked up the early double for Aldemir but the {q-Spades} turn and {10-Clubs} river runout gave Martinez broadway.

Other players at the table remarked how big a name Aldemir was after his success in Las Vegas and Yucel Eminoglu added "he would have been dangerous if he doubled."

Early Exit for van der Swaluw

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Alexander van der Swaluw had entered Day 2 with a short stack of just 11,000 and got those in via open-shove from the hijack. Jamie Flynn looked him up with the far bigger stack to trigger the following showdown.

Alexander van der Swaluw: {k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Jamie Flynn: {a-Hearts}{7-Spades}

Neither player connected with the {9-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop and {6-Hearts} turn. The {a-Diamonds} river only improved Flynn and van der Swaluw headed out of the tournament area.

Gloger Tank-Calls vs Brewer

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Chris Brewer bet 4,000 into a pot of 11,000 on a {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop and was called by Alexander Glogar.

Both players checked the {4-Hearts} turn and Brewer then bet 22,000 on the {2-Clubs} river.

Glogar tanked, with a player eventually calling the clock. The dealer explained that not enough time had passed for the clock to be called.

"It's for most of my remaining chips," said Glogar before calling.

Brewer tabled {10-Clubs}{6-Spades} for ten-high and Glogar showed {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts} for a pair of jacks and won the pot.

Gulseven Takes From Speranza

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Erdal Gulseven
Erdal Gulseven

Erdal Gulseven tangled with Gianluca Speranza and check-called a bet worth 8,500 on the {q-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{9-Spades} turn. He then also check-called for another 16,500 on the {2-Diamonds} river and Speranza tabled the {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}. Gulseven had that beat with the {q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} for two pair and Speranza let out a loud sigh.
