Aldemir Vanishes; Karam Doubles

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Koray Aldemir was spotted on his way out of the tournament area and a look at his former table revealed that the German had indeed been eliminated.

According to Jaime Cervantes, Aldemir was involved in a three-bet pot in which Cervantes made it 29,000 to go on the button. On a {j-}{4-}{2-} flop, Aldemir check-jammed with {6-}{6-} and ran into the {a-}{a-} of the American.

At the same time on a different table, Ramzi Karam and Alexis Nicolai were flipping with the former as the player at risk for 133,000.

Ramzi Karam: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Alexis Nicolai: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}

The {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop provided the overcard but Karam also made a set of queens as well. His double was confirmed with the {3-Hearts} turn to make the {6-Hearts} river a formality.

Wheeler Misses, Rotundo Collects

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Christian Rotundo raised from the hijack and was called by Jason Wheeler in the small blind and Lucien Cohen in the big blind. The flop came {k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and the action checked to Rotundo who continued for 17,000. Both Wheeler and Cohen called to see the {a-Diamonds} on the turn.

The blinds checked again and Rotundo threw in a bet of 35,000. Wheeler called and Cohen got out of the way. The river was the {7-Hearts} and both players tapped the table. Wheeler showed {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a missed straight and flush draw while Rotundo held {q-Hearts}{9-Clubs} for the only pair in the hand.

Alejandro Romero: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Marco Regonaschi: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

It turned out to be a coin flip and the flop of {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{6-Spades} left Romero in the lead. The {10-Hearts} on the turn and the {5-Clubs} on the river changed nothing and Romero scored a double up.

Very Long Tank by Saderne Not Rewarded

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

On the river of a {j-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{9-Spades} board, Jeremy Saderne checked in the small blind and Stefano Ferrara bet 80,000 on the button. What followed was a tank of nearly nine minutes by Saderne as the hand went into the break.

Ultimately, Saderne flicked in the call and Ferrara tabled the {10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} for the second nut straight to win the pot with Saderne tapping the table.

Andrian Doubles Through Atoui

Level 16 : 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Ole Schemion opened to 10,000 from under the gun and Kamel Atoui three-bet to 37,000 on his left. Simone Andrian four-bet shoved all in for 193,000 in the big blind which got a quick fold from Schemion, but Atoui called.

Simone Andrian: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Kamel Atoui: {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}

"There's not a seven coming this time," Andrian said to Schemion. The board ran out {a-Clubs}{8-Spades}{4-Spades}{j-Hearts}{6-Clubs} and Andrian was correct as he earned himself a double up.
