Level 21 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Razz

Taylor Paur: /
Koray Aldemir: /

After Taylor Paur completed Naoya Kihara's bring-in, Koray Aldemir made it two bets to go. Kihara folded and Paur called with his stack getting short.

The players each caught well on fourth street and checked, but on fifth it was Aldemir showing the superior board and bet. Paur called to see sixth street, and received an awful card, pairing his nine, while Aldemir improved again, now showing four to a seven.

After Aldemir bet again, Paur made the decision to continue, leaving himself just 85,000 behind.

Aldemir bet a final time on seventh, and Paur called off the last of his chips.

He was thrilled to see that Aldemir had made a full house as he rolled over , while Paur showed for an eight-seven to take the pot and survive.

Level 21 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Taylor Paur had raised from the cutoff for Naoya Kihara to defend the small blind and the latter then checked the flop. Paur made it 200,000 to go and Kihara called after short consideration. On the turn, Kihara checked again and Paur now bet the pot for 820,000 with 500,000 behind.

That sent Kihara into a deep tank as he carefully studied the board for more than four minutes before he eventually called. They headed to the river on which Kihara bet 800,000. Now it was up to Paur to go require time to think about it and he even vaulted out of the chair to study the board.

"Please don't show," he said at one point and required three minutes before folding his cards with shaky hands. Kihara simply sent his own cards into the muck and collected the pot.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 21 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

The action started with a raise to 160,000 by Benny Glaser in the hijack and Yuri Dzivielevski then three-bet to 600,000 on the button. Once it folded back to Glaser, the Brit called and they headed to the sole drawing round.

Glaser took one new card while Dzivielevski patted and it checked to the Brazilian. He carefully cut out a bet worth 690,000 and that sent Glaser into somewhat of a turmoil. With a dry smile on the face he tried to start some talk chat with Dzivielevski but received no reaction at all.

Ultimately, Glaser called and mucked when Dzivielevski flipped over .
