Korkmaz Finds an Ace to Bust Tatli

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Hakan Tatli had a raise to 500,000 in front of him from the cutoff as Koray Korkmaz reraised to 1,300,000. Tatli used a time bank card before announcing he was all in for around 2,100,000, and Korkmaz snap-called.

Hakan Tatli: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Koray Korkmaz: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}

With more than 4,000,000 in the middle, the {10-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} board gave Korkmaz top pair. Now needing the last king in the deck to stay alive, Tatli didn't get any miracles on the {3-Hearts}{5-Hearts} turn and river.

Tatli simply shrugged and handed over his chips before getting up from his seat.

"Big one," Korkmaz said as he approached 6,000,000.

"I hate kings. They should call them ace magnets. Always lose to ace-king and ace-queen," tablemate Manuel Fritz added.

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Florian Duta got his last 1,300,000 in the middle from the button and was up against Gabriel Akiki in the cutoff.

Florian Duta: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Gabriel Akiki: {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

The board ran out {8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{a-Spades}{3-Hearts}{j-Clubs}. "Yes," Akiki yelled as he jumped out of his seat and loudly clapped his hands as his queens held up. Duta wished the table good luck before making the walk to the payout desk.

Amamou Sends Drokin Back Down

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

The board read {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs}. Action was on the river and from the big blind, Rachid Amamou bet 425,000. Volodymyr Drokin was under the gun and thought for a few moments before he called.

Amamou tabled the {k-Spades}{8-Clubs} for top pair which was the winner as Drokin mucked as his stack was knocked back down to a short one after having just given himself some breathing room.

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Juan Jose Membreno Orellana raised to 160,000 from under the gun before Volodymyr Drokin shoved all in for 710,000 in the hijack. Action folded back to Orellana, who called to put Drokin at risk.

Volodymyr Drokin: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Juan Jose Membreno Orellana: {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}

Drokin was a big favorite to double up and stayed in front as the board came {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{k-Spades}.

Karmatckii Takes From Netaliev

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

The turn was the {7-Clubs}. Netaliev then bet 325,000 on the turn and Karmatchii called again.

The river came the {2-Spades}. Netaliev slowed down and checked. Karmatchii bet 400,000 which got Netaliev to fold.

Chip and a Chair For Meran

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Alberto Meran raised to 120,000 from under the gun and was called by Nuri Hadioglu in the big blind.

The flop came {6-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and Hadioglu checked over to Meran, who continued for 80,000. Hadioglu called, then folded to a bet of 200,000 on the {10-Spades} turn.

Meran thought he had been eliminated after doubling up Erik Cajelais earlier and was left with just 30,000 chips, not enough to cover the big blind. But he's since increased his stack to 1,200,000 as he tries to mount a comeback.
