Hasan Gets Value on the River

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

There was 40,000 chip in the pot with Ercan Hasan in middle position against Murat Cakir in the cutoff.

The board read {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and Hasan bet 15,000. Cakir made the call.

The {3-Clubs} was the river and Hasan bet 16,000. Cakir thought for a bit before making the call. Hasan turned over {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for two pair which was enough to take down the pot as Cakir mucked his hand.

Aslan on Fumes After Erkman Earns Full Double with Ace-King Suited

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Kemal Aslan
Kemal Aslan

The hijack opened to 5,000 and Kemal Aslan three-bet to 16,000 from the cutoff. Ufuk Erkman then four-bet jammed for 72,500 from the small blind and, after the hijack folded, Aslan deliberated for about 30 seconds before asking for a count. He then counted out his chips and finally made the call.

Ufuk Erkman: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Kemal Aslan: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Aslan was in a world of hurt as he was not only dominated, Erkman was suited as well.

The flop came {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, adding further pain to Aslan as he lost one of his three queen outs.

The turn was the {3-Hearts}, which gave Erkman the flush and the win and Aslan was drawing stone dead.

The {3-Spades} completed the board and Aslan was left with just 9,000 chips behind.

Hasan Continues Dominant Day 1b Performance

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

The cutoff opened to 5,000 with around 36,000 chips behind and Ercan Hasan defended his big blind.

The flop came {j-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and both players were content to slowly tap the table.

On the {2-Diamonds} turn, Hasan put out a bet of 6,000 and while the cutoff contemplated shoving, he tapped the cards in his hands before letting them fly into the muck.

Ante: 3,000

Magic Number Announced

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

From the field of 139 players, a total of 21 players will make the money and reach Day 2. Those 21 players will join the 16 players that qualified from Day 1a.

It's worth remembering that players must bag in order to make the money, so it's possible that fewer players actually make Day 2.

Radoslaw Kopec opened from the cutoff and Elena Yasyuchenya called from the button.

The flop came {q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{j-Hearts} and Kopec continued for 12,000. Yasyuchenya made the call.

On the {10-Diamonds} turn, Kopec took about 45 seconds before he fired a second barrel for 15,000. Yasyuchenya needed a little more than a minute herself before raising to 35,000. Kopec would take over a minute before making the call himself.

The river was the {8-Hearts} and Kopec took a little over a minute before leading all in for about 58,000. Yasyuchenya snap-called.

Kopec turned over {q-Spades}{j-Clubs}, having flopped two pair. However, it was no good and he was eliminated as Yasyuchenya produced {9-Spades}{8-Clubs} for the straight.

Chaoui Rakes in Chip With Two Pair

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Ali Mehrabian raised to 7,000 from under the gun. Mehdi Chaoui called in the cutoff. The big blind also came along.

The flop came {k-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts} and Mehrabian bet 8,000. Chaoui called before the big blind moved all in for 44,000. Both Mehrabian and Chaoui called.

The {3-Spades} was the turn and Mehrabian bet 22,000. Again Chaoui called.

The river was the {8-Hearts} and Mehrabian bet 25,000. Chaoui quickly called. Mehrabian revealed {k-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for two pair. While the big blind revealed {10-Spades}{9-Spades} to be eliminated from the tournament. However it was Chaoui who would take down the pot as he outkicked Mehrabian with his {k-Spades}{q-Hearts} to take down the pot.
