With approximately 30,000 in the pot on a flop of {8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades}, Koray Aldemir checked his big blind to Ali Imsirovic, who bet 33,000 from the cutoff.

Aldemir called to see a turn of {8-Clubs} and again checked. This time, Imsirovic bet 76,000 and again Aldemir sprinkled in calling chips.

On the {7-Clubs} river after Aldemir checked once more, Imsirovic applied maximum pressure, moving all in for 416,000.

After a bit of deliberation, Aldemir opted to fold, dropping his stack back under 1,000,000.

Aces Good for Bujtas

Level 4 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Laszlo Bujtas opened under the gun and received only a single caller in David Peters from late position.

Bujtas check-called a 10,000 bet from Peters on the {5-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades} flop.

The {8-Hearts} turn brought another check from Bujtas and this time Peters sized up, firing off 45,000. Bujtas called to send the action to the river.

The dealer put out a {2-Diamonds} on the river, but neither player was interested in putting more chips in the pot. Bujtas showed down {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts} and Peters mucked.
