Cenk Nigbolu raised to 600,000 from the hijack with {a-Spades}{10-Hearts} and Gurcan Gungoren defended his big blind holding {q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}.

Gurcan Gungoren Eliminated in 6th Place ($41,500)

Level 32 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Gurcan Gungoren
Gurcan Gungoren

Julien Loire raised to 600,000 with {k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} before Arie Kliper, on the button, three-bet to 1,750,000. Gurcan Gungoren in the small blind used a time bank before moving all in for 3,700,000. Loire quickly folded, but Kliper snap-called.

Gurcan Gungoren: {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Arie Kliper: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

Gungoren could only laugh as Kliper can picked up yet another big hand. He got some hope on the {j-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop with top pair, but improved no further on the {5-Hearts} turn of {7-Hearts} river as Kliper claimed yet another victim.

Koray Korkmaz raised to 600,000 from the cutoff with {k-Clubs}{q-Spades} and Cenk Nigbolu just called on the button after picking up {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}. Julien Loire also came along from the big blind holding {8-Hearts}{6-Spades}.

The flop came {5-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} and Korkmaz continued for 525,000. Nigbolu now decided to raise to 1,450,000 and Loire quickly folded.

Loire Takes the Lead on the River

Level 32 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Julien Loire limped in from the small blind with {a-Hearts}{3-Spades} and Arie Kliper checked back {8-Spades}{4-Hearts}.

Both players hit a pair on the {3-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} flop and Kliper bet 350,000 with his fours. Loire called with a pair of threes both checked the {k-Clubs} turn.

The {a-Spades} on the river improved Loire to two pair and he now led out for 1,400,000. Kliper gave it some thought before folding.

Barsegian Gets a Hand He Likes

Level 32 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Eduard Barsegian has been relatively quiet at the final table, not getting himself involved in too many pots. He just found a hand he choose to play, however, raising to 600,000 from the cutoff with {a-Spades}{k-Spades}.

Julien Loire, on the button, picked up {a-Clubs}{6-Spades} and three-bet to 1,500,000. Action folded back to Barsegian, and he pushed all in for 8,000,000. Loire quickly folded.

Nigbolu Floats the Flop, Kliper Fires Again

Level 33 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Arie Kliper raised to 800,000 from under the gun with {j-Clubs}{10-Spades} and Cenk Nigbolu called on the button holding {k-Spades}{9-Spades}.

The {3-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs} board helped neither player as Kliper continued for 725,000. Nigbolu called with king-high to the {5-Clubs} turn.

Kliper kept firing, this time betting out 1,400,000, and Nigbolu quickly folded.

Korkmaz Hero-Calls For His Tournament Life

Level 33 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Koray Korkmaz
Koray Korkmaz

Action folded to Arie Kliper in the small blind and he raised to 1,000,000 with {9-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. Koray Korkmaz defended with {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and they went to the flop.

The dealer turned over {j-Hearts}{6-Spades}{k-Spades} and Kliper fired out another 750,000. Korkmaz called with his pair of jacks as the {a-Clubs} fell on the turn.

Kliper this time bet 4,500,000, enough to put Korkmaz all in. Korkmaz, with 3,500,000 remaining, used three time bank cards before he called.

Kliper was already drawing dead and the {q-Diamonds} on the river was inconsequential as Korkmaz doubled up.
