Yilmaz Oguz Eliminated in 17th Place ($12,995)

Yilmaz Oguz - 17th Place
Yilmaz Oguz - 17th Place

From the cutoff seat, David Benyamine raised all in for 123,000. Yilmaz Oguz stuck all of his chips in the pot once again for 114,000. Everyone else folded and it would be these two going at it.

Oguz held the {A-Spades}{K-Hearts} and was up against the {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for Benyamine. Although Benyamine held just queen high going into the flop, turn and river, he was plenty live.

The flop came down {8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and Oguz was 60% of the way to his double. The turn brought the {10-Spades} though and things were looking grim with one card to come. The river then completed the board, and the tournament for Oguz, with the {5-Spades}.

Benyamine earned the elimination and the pot to push to about 260,000, quite the increase after making a big laydown and leaving himself with only five and a half big blinds moments ago. Oguz was the second player to go on the day, also finishing with just under $13,000 in prize money.
