Kadir Altinbasak Eliminated in 22nd Place ($11,000)
Level 28
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Joan Crespi raised to 200,000 from middle position before Kadir Altinbasak three-bet to 425,000 on the button. When it got back to Crespi, he jammed to put Altinbasak all in. Altinbasak didn't take long to call for his roughly 2,500,000 total, and the cards were revealed.
Kadir Altinbasak: A♠10♦ 
Joan Crespi: K♣K♠
Altinbasak was in rough shape against Crespi's Cowboys and needed an ace to stay alive. The 10♥K♦2♥ flop was a disaster for Altinbasak as Crespi flopped top set. The 3♥ turn meant Altinbasak was drawing dead as the irrelevant 9♠ appeared on the river.
Crespi moved up to over 9,000,000 in chips, while Altinbasak was out in 22nd.
