Hasan Continues Dominant Day 1b Performance

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

The cutoff opened to 5,000 with around 36,000 chips behind and Ercan Hasan defended his big blind.

The flop came {j-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and both players were content to slowly tap the table.

On the {2-Diamonds} turn, Hasan put out a bet of 6,000 and while the cutoff contemplated shoving, he tapped the cards in his hands before letting them fly into the muck.

Aslan on Fumes After Erkman Earns Full Double with Ace-King Suited

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Kemal Aslan
Kemal Aslan

The hijack opened to 5,000 and Kemal Aslan three-bet to 16,000 from the cutoff. Ufuk Erkman then four-bet jammed for 72,500 from the small blind and, after the hijack folded, Aslan deliberated for about 30 seconds before asking for a count. He then counted out his chips and finally made the call.

Ufuk Erkman: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Kemal Aslan: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Aslan was in a world of hurt as he was not only dominated, Erkman was suited as well.

The flop came {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, adding further pain to Aslan as he lost one of his three queen outs.

The turn was the {3-Hearts}, which gave Erkman the flush and the win and Aslan was drawing stone dead.

The {3-Spades} completed the board and Aslan was left with just 9,000 chips behind.

Hasan Gets Value on the River

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

There was 40,000 chip in the pot with Ercan Hasan in middle position against Murat Cakir in the cutoff.

The board read {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and Hasan bet 15,000. Cakir made the call.

The {3-Clubs} was the river and Hasan bet 16,000. Cakir thought for a bit before making the call. Hasan turned over {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for two pair which was enough to take down the pot as Cakir mucked his hand.

Kopec Puts on the Pressure

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Middle position opened to 6,000 and was called by the small blind and Radoslaw Kopec in the big blind.

The flop came {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and the blinds checked to the pre flop aggressor who bet 6,000. Action folded to Kopec who raised to 17,500. His opponent called.

The turn was the {9-Diamonds} and Kopec paused before he moved all in for approximately 80,000. His opponent went into the tank before ultimately deciding to send his card back to the dealer which sent a big pot in Kopec's direction.

Themistokleous Doubles Up Through Mehrabian

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Themistoklis Themistokleous shoved for 27,000 from middle position and Ali Mehrabian called from the hijack.

Themistoklis Themistokleous: {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}
Ali Mehrabian: {k-Clubs}{10-Spades}

In a pure flip, Themistokleous was ahead with pocket fours and would hold and breathe a big sigh of relief as the board ran out {6-Hearts}{9-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{5-Hearts} to give him the full double.

Chaoui Wins Two Big Pots in a Row

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

There was 40,000 in the pot as the board read {k-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}. A player in early position checked to Mehdi Chaoui on the button who bet 2,000. His opponent moved all in for 36,000 effective and Chaoui snap called. Chaoui showed {a-Clubs}{j-Spades} for two pair which was enough to take down the pot.

The very next hand Chaoui raised to 4,000 from the cutoff and was called by both blinds.

The flop came {j-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{3-Spades} and action checked to Chaoui who bet 6,000. Only the small blind called.

The {2-Hearts} was the turn and Chaoui bet 21,000 when checked to. The small blind moved all in for 70,000 and Chaoui snap called.

Small Blind: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}
Mehdi Chaoui: {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Chaoui was ahead of his opponents pocket aces as he had flop two pair. The river was a brick which sent the small blind home and moved Chaoui from small stack to big stack within two hands.
