Koray Aldemir was all in on the button for 147,000 and was called by [Removed:564] in the big blind with the bigger stack.

[Removed:564]: A♥4♥

The flop came 7♠Q♣A♦ for both of them to hit a pair but for [Removed:565] to stay ahead with top pair.

The 2♥ on the turn and the 10♣ on the river didn't change anything for the 2021 Main Event champion to hit the rail.

Nível 9 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Justin Bonomo opened to 30,000 from middle position and Brian Kim made the call from the big blind.

Kim check-called a 30,000 bet from Bonomo on the A♠5♣8♥ flop.

The turn came the 2♣ and Kim checked again. This time Bonomo fired for 175,000, slightly more than what was in the pot. Kim made the call.

The river came the 7♦ and Bonomo used one time extension chip before pushing forward a full rack of red 5,000 chips and a stack of green 25,000 chips. The bet was nearly two times what was in the pot already and enough to put Kim all in for his remaining 775,000.

Kim went deep into the tank facing the overbet, using all of his time extension chips to consider his options. After just over three minutes of consideration he slid his cards into the muck and Bonomo received a sizable pot without having to go to showdown.

Nível 9 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Tyler Cornell raised to 35,000 from the hijack and Daniel Rezaei was the only one to make the call from the button.

The flop came 3♥6♣3♦ for Cornell to check-call the 35,000 bet of Rezaei.

They both checked through the 2♦ on the turn and the J♠ on the river. Cornell tabled the A♥Q♥ for the ace-queen kicker with the pair of treys on the board, which was apparently enough to claim the pot as Rezaei mucked his hand.

Phil Ivey opened to 32,000 from under the gun and Bryn Kenney moved all in for his remaining 219,000 from the next seat.

Bryn Kenney: K♣K♥
Phil Ivey: 6♦6♣

Kenney was well ahead with the higher pocket pair. The board changed nothing when it ran out Q♦2♣A♥7♥J♠ and Kenney received a full double up.
