Aldemir Soars to the Top

Level 24 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Koray Aldemir
Koray Aldemir

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 {a-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{9-Hearts} 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: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Koray Aldemir: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}

Adam was drawing stone dead going into the river, making the {j-Spades} that popped up a mere formality.

Shortly after, Nick Petrangelo was moved to the open seat two spots to Aldemir's right.

Kniep Gets Through With a Cheeky Bluff

Level 24 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Andreas Kniep on the button and Timothy Cramer in the cutoff tangled in a bigger pot as more than 2.5 million chips went in. Cramer opened to 110,000 and was called by Kniep, Chris Alafogiannis also came along from the big blind. The {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts} flop was checked all the way and Alafogiannis bet the {k-Clubs} turn for 175,000. Cramer called and Kniep then raised to 600,000, which brought a tank-fold from Alafogiannis and a call by Cramer.

The remaining duo headed to the {3-Hearts} river on which Cramer checked with some 2.1 million behind. Kniep jammed and his table neighbour reluctantly folded. The German only wanted to show one of the cards and flipped it over without double checking. It was the {6-Diamonds} and he then grinned "oh, I didn't wan't to show that one" before also flashing the {a-Clubs} for the nut flush blocker.

Khalilov Back From the Brink; Ilani Eliminated

Level 24 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Ran Ilani
Ran Ilani

Anar Khalilov earned an unlikely double when his seven-six beat the king-seven of Nicolas Vayssieres. One hand later, Khalilov was in the small blind and saw action ahead of him with Ran Ilani and Vayssieres involved. The former ended up all-in for 840,000 and Khalilov got it in for 1,005,000 while Vayssieres had both covered by a wide margin.

Ran Ilani: {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}
Anar Khalilov: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Nicolas Vayssieres: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

The {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{7-Clubs} board left Ilani without any chips and he was eliminated while Khalilov essentially tripled up.

Jamshidi's Cowboys Set Up Cabrera's Aces

David Cabrera.

The board read {k-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Spades}{6-Spades}, Jamshidi held {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} for top set while Cabrera's {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} was tossed into the muck.

Stephen Chidwick opened to 110,000 and called when Dan Dyke three-bet shoved a stack of 575,000 from the big blind.

Dan Dyke: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}
Stephen Chidwick: {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}

The board ran out {k-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{8-Clubs} to give Chidwick the best hand with sevens and kings and Dyke was sent to the rail.

The Right Toole To Work With

Level 24 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Cole Ferraro
Cole Ferraro

With the pot already up to over a million, the dealer burned and turned the river to complete a {9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Spades} board. From the small blind, Jake Toole checked it over to Cole Ferraro, who was seated under the gun.

Ferraro cut out a bet of 850,000 and Toole spent minutes mulling over his decision. He ultimately settled on a call, only to be shown {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} by Ferraro. The rockets were good as Toole mucked his hand.

Simpson Five-Bet Shoves Into Aces

Level 24 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Conrad Simpson
Conrad Simpson

Denys Prydvor opened to 100,000 from under the gun and Conrad Simpson three-bet to 350,000 a couple of seats over. The action folded back to Prydvor who four-bet to 875,000. Simpson tanked for about five minutes before five-bet shoving all in for around 1,800,000. Prydvor snap-called and had Simpson in trouble.

Conrad Simpson: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Denys Prydvor: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

The flop came {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and Simpson was left with two out and only two cards to come. The {6-Spades} on the turn and the {10-Clubs} on the river were of no help and Simpson was forced to the rail.

Koop's Big Call Rewarded

Level 24 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

On a completed board of {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{8-Spades}, Punnat Punsri bet 475,000 out of the big blind. His sole remaining opponent by then was Niko Koop from one seat over in under the gun. Koop called and Punsri tabled the {k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}, which Koop had beat with the {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}.

Amsellem Doubles Through Douglas

Level 24 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Champie Douglas raised to 125,000 in the small blind and Maurice Amsellem jammed for 755,000 in the big blind. Douglas thought about it and ultimately put in the chips

Maurice Amsellem: {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Champie Douglas: {a-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

Amsellem had Douglas pipped but was the one at risk. The {7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop had Douglas calling for a chop, but the {10-Hearts} turn secured the pot for Amsellem as the meaningless {5-Clubs} completed the board.
