Quick Exit for Aldemir After Rough Start

zedmaster84

Nível 11 : Limits 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

With four bets in three-ways preflop to the K♠Q♦3♠ flop, Eddie Blumenthal was all-in for 12,000 and called by Nacho Barbero. Koray Aldemir then raised to 16,000 and Barbero called as they created a small side pot. On the 2♥ turn, Barbero bet and he earned a call by Aldemir, who was then left with 10,000 behind to the 5♦ river.

Barbero bet again and Aldemir tanked for two minutes to sigh-fold.

Blumenthal tabled the A♦K♥8♥3♦ and won half the pot as Barbero had the A♣Q♥6♥2♦ for inferior two pair but superior low. Aldemir revealed that he had won half the pot, after which Blumenthal joked "thank you". The last two chips of the 2021 WSOP Main Event champion vanished shortly after.

Chio Chops With Farha; Yu Triples Up

zedmaster84

Nível 11 : Limits 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Four ways to the K♥8♦3♠ flop, Chad Eveslage and Ren Lin checked out of the blinds. Sam Farha bet from under the gun and Daniel Chip called on the button while the blinds folded. Farha bet the 7♦ turn to earn a call and they checked the 9♣ on the river.

Farha tabled the A♣10♥9♦4♣ to earn the low pot, as Chio's A♠J♥8♣3♣ had two pair for the high pot.

During the hand, Eveslage and Lin shook hands on an even money last longer bet for reaching the money.

Ben Yu was then all-in for 8,000 preflop and Lin bet the Q♣J♥6♥ flop to force out Farha.

Ben Yu: A♦Q♥K♠9♠
Ren Lin: A♠K♦J♠6♠

Lin was ahead with two pair but the 9♣ turn and Q♦ river counterfeited them.
