Aldemir Soars to the Top
Level 24
: 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
The new chip leader — or close to — in the Main Event is German high roller Koray Aldemir, who clashed with Super Seniors winner Jean-Luc Adam in what's surely one of, if not the biggest pot of the tournament thus far.
While exact action is unknown as of yet, the board was reading ![]()
![]()
![]()
and at least 2 million flew in from Adam's end (small blind), met by a snapcall from Aldemir (under the gun).
Jean-Luc Adam: ![]()
![]()
Koray Aldemir: ![]()
![]()
Adam was drawing stone dead going into the river, making the
that popped up a mere formality.
Shortly after, Nick Petrangelo was moved to the open seat two spots to Aldemir's right.
