Aldemir Calls Bujtas's Bluff in Monster Pot

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Koray Aldemir
Koray Aldemir

Blind on blind, Koray Aldemir limped in the small blind and Laszlo Bujtas raised to 175,000 in the big blind. Aldemir called.

On a {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{k-Hearts} flop, Aldemir checked and Bujtas bet 200,000. Aldemir called.

The turn was the {3-Diamonds} and Aldemir checked again. Bujtas took his time, using one of his remaining time extensions, before betting 475,000. Again, Aldemir called.

The river was the {8-Clubs}. Aldemir checked and Bujtas moved all in for 1,360,000, covering his opponent by around 100,000.

This time Aldemir used one of his time extensions before calling.

Bujtas shook his head, tabling the hand made famous by Doyle Brunson - {10-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. Aldemir turned over {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and allowed himself fist pump, obviously proud at his call.

Michael Addamo Eliminated in 5th Place (€241,290)

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Michael Addamo
Michael Addamo

Michael Addamo was sitting on a stack of around seven big blinds and he pushed all in for a little over 300,000. Benjamin Pollak was in the small blind and re-shoved all in. Marton Czuczor folded his big blind and the two hands were tabled.

Benjamin Pollak: {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Michael Addamo: {a-Clubs}{6-Spades}

Addamo found himself dominated but picked up some chop outs on the flop of {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}. The {5-Spades} gave Addamo a winning straight draw but the {10-Hearts} on the river only improved Pollak's hand. Addamo was eliminated in fifth place and Pollak moved over 2,000,000 chips.

Sergio Aido Eliminated in 6th Place (€188,980)

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Sergio Aido
Sergio Aido

The action folded to Laszlo Bujtas in the small blind who shipped all in. Sergio Aido was in the big blind and instantly called off his last 790,000 after looking at his cards.

Laszlo Bujtas: {q-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Sergio Aido: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}

Aido was in a great position to double up with the best possible starting hand. However, the dealer fanned the flop of {q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{9-Spades} and Bujtas flopped two pair. The turn was the {k-Diamonds} to give Aido some more outs but the {7-Hearts} on the river sent him to the payout desk in sixth place.

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Benjamin Pollak
Benjamin Pollak

Benjamin Pollak opened to 90,000 from under the gun and Marton Czuczor three-bet to 360,000 from the next position.

It folded back around to Pollak who four-bet all in for 745,000. Czuczor called.

Pollak showed {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} but tapped the table as Czuczor showed {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

The flop, however, had a nine on it giving Pollak the lead with the full board {2-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{7-Clubs} meant that Pollak doubled up.

Aldemir Into the Lead

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Marton Czuczor raised to 85,000 on the button and Koray Aldemir put his newly found chips to work by defending the big blind. On the flop of {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}, both players checked and the {8-Clubs} paired the board on the turn.

Aldemir led out for 200,000 and Czuczor stuck around to see the {a-Diamonds} on the river. Aldemir announced another bet of 740,000 this time and Czuczor moaned in agony before sliding his cards to the muck.

The action folded to Laszlo Bujtas in the small blind who just limped in. Sergio Aido quickly checked his option and the flop came {k-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}. Bujtas led out for 80,000 and Aido quickly flicked in a call.
