On the next hand, Koray Aldemir made a small raise from early position and got a call from Patrik Antonius from the big blind.

Antonius check-called a bet of 6,000 after the {7-}{3-}{2-} came on the flop. Antonius checked against after the {10-} came on the turn. Aldemir fired again, this time for 17,000. Antonius jammed his stack more than covering what Aldemir had left.

Aldemir made the call and turned over {8-}{8-} and needed some help against the {7-}{2-} held by Antonius. The {9-} didn't help Aldemir and he was eliminated in seventh place.
