Brandon Steven Busts

Level 14 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

On a board of {Q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}, Koray Aldemir had 130,000 in front of him on the button, while big blind Brandon Steven was all in for 550,000 total. Aldemir thought about it for a bit before he called.

Aldemir was in front with {Q-Spades}{J-Clubs}. Steven was in need of a heart with {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. The river {3-Spades} was a blank, and Steven departed from the tournament to reduce the field to 42 players.

Polk Eliminates Qi to Surge Past 3 Million

Doug Polk
Doug Polk

Xuming Qi bet 115,000 on a {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop from middle position against two opponents. Doug Polk made it 325,000 on the button, and the third player mucked. Qi told the dealer he was all in, for what looked to be about 1.3 million. Polk snap-called.

Polk: {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
Qi: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Qi needed lots of help in a hurry, but a {2-Spades} turn ended things before the {9-Hearts} river could even fall.
