After a horrible bad beat in the Day 1c, Germany’s Huseyin Arkun is alive and kicking in the Day 1c.
“I can’t believe it. I shoved with , and I got called by an opponent who had nothing. But then, of course, he found a runner-runner flush at the river and sent me to the rails. Seriously, I get Aces once a year and I lose the hand like that. It’s just bad.”

With live tournament earnings for $122,407, Arkun got 29 of his 30 cashes here at the King’s Casino. His best result so far came only a few weeks ago, when he came third in the World Series if Poker Circuit Event #2 for $24,607.
