Yong Takes from Cates; Gives it to Aldemir

Level 18 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Dan Cates raised to 100,000 first to act and Wai Kin Yong three-bet to 280,000 from the cutoff, Cates called. On the {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} flop, Cates checked and folded to a bet worth 200,000 by Yong.

The next hand, Yong raised to 100,000 from under the gun and Koray Aldemir called in the big blind. Aldemir check-called a bet worth 150,000 on the {10-Spades}{9-Spades}{6-Spades} flop before the duo checked the {3-Clubs} turn. After the {4-Clubs} river, Aldemir bet 395,000 and Yong called after some consideration.

Aldemir turned over {K-Spades}{7-Spades} for the second nut flush and Yong mucked. "Every hand I played with him, he had a straight or flush," Yong joked and Devan Tang laughed and raised his hand with a "me too" - on Day 2, Tang lost a big pot with kings to Aldemir's flopped straight.

Aido Takes from Aldemir

Level 18 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Bryn Kenney won the first hand back from the break and the next big pot went to Sergio Aido.

Koray Aldemir raised to 100,000 from the cutoff and Aido three-bet to 325,000 in the small blind, which Aldemir called. On the {K-Spades}{4-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop, Aido continued for 225,000 and Aldemir called before the Spaniard checked the {6-Clubs} turn. Aldemir bet 280,000 and Aido called.

The {2-Hearts} river slowed down both players and they checked. Aido rolled over {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for sixes and fours, which was good enough to scoop the pot.

Devan Tang raised to 80,000 and Bryn Kenney defended his big blind. On the {Q-Hearts}{9-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop, both players checked. Kenney check-called a bet worth 100,000 by Tang on the {5-Hearts} turn and checked again the {2-Hearts} river.

Tang bet 220,000 and Kenney moved all in for 340,000 in total. That left Tang with a headache and he folded after more than one minute of consideration. "That one you have to show," Dan Cates joked. "Well, if it was a bluff," Kenney replied and Tang joked "you would show if it was him."

Soon after, towards the the end of the level, Sergio Aido raised from the cutoff and Cates shoved from the big blind. Aido asked for a count and the all in was for 760,000, which Aido called.

Dan Cates: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Sergio Aido: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}

The board ran out {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and Cates doubled.

Level 17 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Wai Kin Yong raised to 85,000 from under the gun and Devan Tang called on the button. Koray Aldemir three-bet to 285,000 in the big blind and both opponents folded.

Fast forward one hand, Dan Cates raised to 80,000 and Bryn Kenney defended his big blind. The duo checked down the {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Spades} flop and the {9-Clubs} turn. On the {5-Hearts} river, Kenney bet 145,000 with 210,000 behind and Cates folded after some consideration. "Bluff?" he asked and Kenney peeked at both cards.

"I gonna show you one," Kenney added and flashed the {Q-Hearts}. "And the other?" Cates replied, to which Kenney had a dry "that one is in the muck."

Yong Below a Million

Level 17 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Koray Aldemir raised to 85,000 from the cutoff and Wai Kin Yong called from one seat over on the button, while Sergio Aido and short stack Bryn Kenney in the blinds folded.

On a flop of {J-Clubs}{9-Spades}{4-Clubs}, Aldemir continued for 170,000 and Yong called before the same action took place on the {7-Diamonds} turn. This time, Aldemir made it 360,000 to go and Yong called after some consideration.

Both players eventually checked the {10-Hearts} river and Aldemir flipped over {Q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for a straight. Yong mucked and dropped below a million.

The next hand, Kenney open-shoved for 10 big blinds from the small blind and Devan Tang folded in the big blind.
