Koray Aldemir Gets Lucky to Double Through Steve O'Dwyer

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Koray Aldemir shoved for 59,000 from the cutoff and Steve O'Dwyer called him from the small blind.

Aldemir: {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
O'Dwyer: {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

Aldemir was way behind, but he got lucky to pair his jack on the {j-Clubs}{k-Spades}{4-Spades} flop. Neither the {6-Clubs} turn nor {4-Clubs} river changed a thing and Aldemir shipped the double.

Salas Doubles Through Tacoronte

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

In the last hand before break, Damian Salas raised to 9,000 and saw Jonathan Concepcion Tacoronte reraise in the cutoff to 22,000. Salas tanked awhile, and Tacoronte called a clock a few minutes into break. Salas shoved and Tacoronte called.

Tacoronte: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Salas: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

The board was dry: {2-Spades}{4-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{5-Spades}, leaving the jacks best. Salas clapped in celebration and Tacoronte sent him 78,500.

Players are on break for about 11 more minutes.

Off to the Races

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Chris Hunichen moved all in for 106,500 from the hijack and Sam Greenwood isolated by moving all in over the top from the small blind.

Hunichen: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Greenwood: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

It was a flip but not after the {8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} flop brought Hunichen a set. The {9-Spades} turn kept Greenwood drawing live, but he missed on the {J-Diamonds} river.

"Let's Try This Again"

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

"Let's try this again," Sam Greenwood said as he called the all-in shove of Koray Aldemir and turned up {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}. Aldemir had jammed about 120,000 over Greenwood's button open and showed {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}. The board ran out {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades}, sending the pot to Greenwood and his king kicker.

Daniel Dvoress Eliminated by Paul Newey

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Action folded to Daniel Dvoress in the small blind and he moved all in for 62,000. Paul Newey, who had 67,500 in the big blind, looked down at his cards and snap-called.

Newey: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Dvoress: {q-Hearts}{5-Clubs}

The {8-Clubs}{10-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop actually gave Dvoress the lead, but he would fail to hold onto it as the {10-Diamonds} turn was followed by the {Q} river.

Steve O'Dwyer Straightens Out Jan-Eric Schwippert in Monster Pot

Jan-Eric Schwippert
Jan-Eric Schwippert

Jan-Eric Schwippert raised to 13,500 from the button and was met by a three-bet to 39,000 from Steve O'Dwyer in the small blind. Schwippert responded with a four-bet to 107,500 and then called when O'Dwyer five-bet jammed.

O'Dwyer: {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Schwippert: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

O'Dwyer picked a bad spot, or so it seemed. Much to the dismay of Schwippert, the board ran out {10-Spades}{3-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{j-Spades} to give O'Dwyer a rivered straight and the win.

Tacoronte Loses His Last Crumbs

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Jonathan Concepcion Tacoronte put in his remaining 20,500 preflop, and the small blind called him. In the big, Damian Salas put in a reraise to 55,000 and chased away the small blind.

Salas: {a-Hearts}{8-Clubs}
Tacoronte: {10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}

Tacoronte was dominated, and the {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{3-Clubs} kept it that way. A {5-Clubs} turn gave him a chance with a flush draw, but the river was a {5-Hearts}.
