Hands #4-10: Titov Shoves; Two More Pots for Aldemir

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Hand #4: Adrian Mateos with just one card showing, the {7-Spades}, opened from early position with a raise to 80,000 action folded around to Oleg Titov in the cutoff holding {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}, and he three-bet, making it 260,000. Action folded back to Mateos.

"Are you bluffing me?" he asked Titov before folding. "Big fold. I folded a pair."

Titov took down the pot and told Mateos he could see the hand later for free on the stream.

Hand #5: From under the gun Patryk Pterek opened with a raise to 85,000 holding {A-Spades}{J-Spades}. Just two seats over, Adrian Mateos called holding {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}. Everyone folded brining the two heads up to the flop.

The flop came down {10-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and Poterek checked over to Mateos who put out a bet of 85,000 and Poterek folded, allowing Mateos to take down the pot.

Hand #6: Action folded around to the hijack seat where Christian Rudolph opened with a raise to 85,000 holding {K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}. Both blinds folded and Rudolph took down the pot.

Hand #7: Koray Aldemir opened from the hijack with a raise to 85,000 holding {K-Spades}{J-Hearts}. From the big blind, Adalfer Morales Gamarra called the raise holding {K-Clubs}{2-Clubs}.

The flop came down {J-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and Gamarra checked. Aldemir bet 80,00 which prompted a fold from Gamarra.

Hand #8: Aldemir opened again, this time from early position with a raise to 85,000 holding {A-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. Gamarra called from the small blind holding {K-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and Mateos called from the big blind holding {4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}.

The flop came down {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and Gamarra and Mateos both checked to Aldemir who checked behind. The turn was the {5-Spades} and this time Gamarra checked again. Mateos checked as well. Aldemir decided to bet, making it 160,000. Both Gamarra and Mateos folded and that allowed Aldemir to take down the pot.

Hand 9: Christian Rudolph raised to 85,000 with the {a-Hearts}{q-Spades} under the gun and Shawn Buchanan, who had the same hand with the {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}, called from middle position. Patryk Poterek then called from the hijack with the {7-Hearts}{7-} and Adalfer Morales Gamarra came along from the cutoff with the {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}.

That made it four-way action to the flop, which came down {8-Clubs}{k-Spades}{2-Hearts}. Thre checks put action on Gamarra, and he bet 185,000. The bet worked as one by one his opponents all folded.

Hand 10: Poterek opened for 85,000 from middle position with the {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades} and Rudolph defended his big blind with the {10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}. The {7-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{k-Spades} flop saw Rudolph checked and Poterek continued for 75,000. Rudolph fol

Patryk Poterek - 9th Place
Patryk Poterek - 9th Place

Hand 11: Maria Lampropulos looked down at the {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} under the gun and she raised to 90,000. Two spots over, Poterek picked up the {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds} and three-bet to 265,000. Action folded back to Lampropulos and she thought for nearly three minutes before someone called the clock.

Eventually, she moved all in and Poterek called off for 1.62 million. It was a classic flip, and Poterek was looking to hold to double big. The {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} flop was gin for Lampropulos, who hit trips. Poterek was looking for a lady, but he didn't get it on the {2-Spades} turn.

He had the river to go, but it was brick city as the {5-Clubs} peeled off. With that, Lampropulos becomes the first female to make the PCA final table since Xuan Liu did it back in 2012.

Christian Rudolph reraised from the button holding the other two nines ({9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}), moving all in for 1,110,000.

Hand #14: On the button, Maria Lampropulos opened with a raise to 90,000 holding {6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}. In the big blind, Gamarra was holding {7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and he folded as wall, so Lampropulos took down the pot.

Hand #15: From the hijack seat, Koray Aldemir opened to 85,000 holding {A-Clubs}{7-Hearts}. In the big blind, Adrian Mateos was holding {7-Spades}{7-Clubs} and he moved all in for 1,085,000. That prompted a fold from Aldemir, and Mateos took down the pot.

Hand #16: From early position, Christian Rudolph raised to 85,000 holding {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. Next to act was Aldemir who reraised to 250,000 holding {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}. Action folded back to Rudolph who folded as well, and that earned the pot for Aldemir.

Hand 39: Adalfer Morales Gamarra made it 135,000 from the small blind with {K-Spades}{J-Hearts}. Adrian Mateos in the big blind defended with {Q-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}. The flop came {K-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{7-Spades} and Gamarra bet 230,000. Mateos folded right away.

Hand 40: Seated in middle position, Koray Aldemir opened {A-Hearts}{6-Spades} for 100,000. It netted him the blinds and antes as everyone folded.

Hand 41: In middle position, Maria Lampropulos opened {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} for 115,000. Shawn Buchanan shoved from the hijack for 800,000 even with {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}. It folded back to Lampropulos and she folded too, leaving the pot to Buchanan.

Hand 42: Koray Aldemir opened {K-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} under the gun for 100,000. Again king-queen for Shawn Buchanan, this time {K-Spades}{Q-Spades} and he called from middle position. The flop came {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and Aldemir checked. Buchanan checked behind.

The {6-Hearts} on the turn had both players check again and they did so too on the {8-Diamonds} that completed the board. Buchanan took it down with the flopped second pair.

Hand 43: {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} for Maria Lampropulos under the gun and she opened to 120,000. It folded to Christian Rudolph in the small blind and he flatted with {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}. Lampropulos flopped top set on {A-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and Rudolph checked. Lampropulos checked behind.

The {7-Spades} on the turn saw Rudolph and Lampropulos check both again. The {5-Diamonds} completed the board and Rudolph checked a third time. Lampropulos bet 325,000 into 330,000.

Rudolph tanked for a fair bit and asked 'Why so big?' before calling.

The bad news followed soon, Lampropulos raked in the chips with her top set.
