Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Bora Kurtulus

Nicolas Chouity raised to 5,000 from the cutoff, and Bora Kurtulus three-bet the big blind to 17,500. Chouity called.

Kurtulus led out for 8,500 on the 4♣A♣3♦ flop, and Chouity called.

When Kurtulus saw the 5♣ land on the turn, he quickly jammed, putting Chouity all in for his remaining 50,000 or so. Chouity gave it some thought before letting out a sigh and sliding his chips into the middle.

Nicolas Chouity: A♠10♠ All in
Bora Kurtulus: A♥K♦

Both players had a pair of aces, but Kurtulus's kicker had him in front, leaving Chouity needing a ten to win or a deuce to chop the pot.

Neither came on the 7♠ river, and all of Chouity's chips were sent over to Kurtulus.

After a few more moments, Smuskevicius called and tossed the chips in Okolovich's direction. Okolovich tabled A♠K♣ for top pair, and Smuskevicius shook his head before mucking.

Gerardo Ulloa raised to 3,000 from early position, with Georges Ghossan calling from the hijack, Adrian Govea calling from the small blind, and Tahsin Cankurtaranli defending from the big blind.

All four players checked the K♣7♠8♣ flop before the 3♣ arrived on the turn. Govea led out for 8,500, and only the initial raiser, Ulloa, called.

The board-pairing 8♥ completed the runout, prompting Govea to check. Ulloa announced a bet of 38,800, sending Govea deep into the tank. After using a couple of time banks, Govea decided to surrender his hand.
