Gursel Ali - 5th Place

Gursel Ali opened the action with a raise to 22,000 from the cutoff with Kenneth Damm making the call in the small blind.

The flop fell {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{8-Diamonds}

{Q-Clubs}

and Damm checked to Ali who casually slid his last 75,000 chips into the middle. Damm went into the tank for several minutes before making the call.

Damm: {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{9-Spades}

Ali:

{K-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

Ali held the lead with his top pair as Damm would need to improve. The turn changed nothing with the {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

but the

{A-Spades}

spiked on the river like a dagger through the heart of Gursel Ali to send him to the rail in 5th place for a collect of $7,053.
