€25,000 High Roller Becoming a Turkish Delight

Level 13 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Orpen Kisacioglu
Orpen Kisacioglu

Orpen Kisacikoglu continues to lay waste to the field after the dinner break, as he's now eliminated Chris Brewer in a huge pot.

Kisacikoglu opened under the gun and was three-bet by Brewer in the small blind.

Kisacikoglu called to see a flop of {7-Clubs}{5-Spades}{4-Clubs}.

Brewer then open-jammed for almost twice the size of the pot, putting his entire 189,000 chip stack in the middle.

Kisacikoglu pondered for a bit, then made the call to put Brewer at risk.

Chris Brewer: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Orpen Kisacikoglu: {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

Kisacikoglu's pair of fives was good, and after the dealer laid out the {10-Spades} and {8-Diamonds}, the fives held to win a massive pot and send Brewer to the rail. "OrpTheTurk" as he's known on Twitter is now a runaway chip leader with 15 players remaining.

Turn Gives Grafton Huge Pot

Level 12 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Sam Grafton
Sam Grafton

Ole Schemion three-bet to 39,000 preflop from middle position over a raise. Sam Grafton four-bet to 88,000 from the button. Schemion called.

The flop came {9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}. Grafton continued for 50,000, Schemion check-jammed all in and Grafton called after a few moments.

Schemion had the {q-Hearts}{q-Spades} while Grafton has the {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} for ace-high.

The turn was the {a-Spades} to launch Grafton into the lead as Schemion reacted in frustration. The river was the {8-Spades} and Grafton took the momentous pot.

Adams on the Comeback Trail

Level 12 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Timothy Adams
Timothy Adams

Timothy Adams has quickly built his stack back to nearly 20 big blinds, thanks in part to a recent triple up.

Adams moved all-in under the gun for approximately 35,000. He was called by Johan Guilbert in middle position, and then Andras Nemeth moved all-in for about 150,000.

Guilbert folded to give Nemeth a chance to eliminate Adams.

Timothy Adams: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Andras Nemeth: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

Adams had a dominant lead in the hand, and the {k-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades} made it even better. The {5-Diamonds} turn and {4-Hearts} river clinched the hand, as the Canadian's stack is healthy again.
