Action folded around to Bartlomiej Machon in the cutoff and he raised to 1 million. Tom Waters three-bet from the small blind to 3.5 million, Machon jammed, and Waters called.
Machon:
Waters:
Waters had the lead with his kings and Machon needed help from the deck in order to win the pot. The board ran out further improving Waters to top set, so he took the pot to double up.
Action folded around to Koray Aldemir on the button and he raised to 1,300,000. Kenny Hallaert jammed from the small blind for 14,175,000 and Aldemir called to put Hallaert at risk.
Aldemir:
Hallaert:
Hallaert had the preflop advantage and Aldemir needed to improve in order to win the pot. The board ran out which was no help to Aldemir, so Hallaert took the pot to double up.
Adrian Mateos had the button and raised before the flop and Koray Aldemir, who started the hand with less than 10 big blinds, defended.
The flop came and the two players got the rest of the chips in the middle.
Aldemir:
Mateos:
Mateos had the lead with king high and Aldemir needed to improve to survive. The turn and river changed nothing, so Mateos took the pot to end Aldemir's run in this event.
Pavel Plesuv opened to 1,200,000 from the cutoff, Kenny Hallaert three-bet to 3,400,000 from the button, Daniel Clark four-bet shoved from the small blind, and Marc-Oliver Carpentier-Perrault five-bet all-in from the big blind. Plesuv folded and after some consideration, Hallaert did the same.
Clark:
Carpentier-Perrault:
Carpentier-Perrault had the preflop advantage with the better ace and Clark needed to improve to preserve his tournament life. The board ran out and Carpentier-Perrault took the pot with the better kicker to end Clark's run in this tournament.
With Clark's elimination, the unofficial final table has been reached. The seat redraw will be posted shortly.
