Kamar Rises; Aldemir Shoves

Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

After a raise by Fady Kamar from early position, Mikita Badziakouski three-bet to what looked like 16,000, and Kamar called to go heads-up to a flop of {K-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{8-Spades}. Kamar check, as did Badziakouski, before the {9-Diamonds} turn triggered a check by Kamar, a bet worth 15,000 by Badziakouski and a call by Kamar.

The {2-Hearts} river went check, check, again and Kamar was first to show to reveal the {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} for kings and nines with an ace kicker. That ended up as the winner and Kamar built his stack.

Over on table five, Koray Aldemir raised to 5,000 on the button and Timothy Adams raised to 15,400 in the small blind. Aldemir then reraised to 35,600 and Adams called. On a flop of {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}, Adams checked and Aldemir's shove for 105,000 took down the pot uncontested.

Only moments later, Charlie Carrel departed from one seat over and Rainer Kempe was no longer seated either.
