Aldemir Wakes Up on the River

Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante

Koray Aldemir raised to 1,400 from under the gun, James Romero three-bet to 5,600 from the small blind and Aldemir bought a flop. On a {q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{9-Hearts} board, action got checked all the way through until Aldemir finally acted with a bet of 6,800.

Romero wasn't pleased and burned through three time extensions before flicking in a single chip to call. Aldemir turned over {9-Spades}{8-Spades} for trip nines and Romero mucked his hand.

Autio's First Tournament

Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante
Arto Autio
Arto Autio

While most of the players are familiar ones to poker enthusiasts, one that might not be to most is Finnish businessman Arto Autio.

There is a good reason for this as this is Autio's first-ever poker tournament in a casino. It is believed that he has some home game experience as early on he has shown he is comfortable at the table.

Mulder Chips Up with Two Pair

Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante
Teun Mulder
Teun Mulder

Timothy Adams bet 5,900 into a pot of over 8,000 with the {3-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{j-Spades} on the board before Teun Mulder jacked it up to 26,000.

Adams looked troubled and just multiple time bank tickets before making the call. Mulder quickly turned over {a-Diamonds}{4-Spades} for two-pair which was good enough to take down a nice pot.

Adams Takes Out Byrraju

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante
Rahul Byrraju
Rahul Byrraju

Rahul Byrraju open jammed from early position for about 10,000 in chips. The action folded to Timothy Adams in the big blind who snap-called after looking at his cards.

Rahul Byrraju: {a-Hearts}{2-Clubs}
Timothy Adams: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

Adams was ahead when all the money got in the middle and Byrraju was in for a world of hurt after Adams nailed two pair on the {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{k-Spades} flop.

The {j-Clubs} came on the turn opening up a possibility if a ten came on the river. However, the {j-Hearts} came instead and Byrraju was felted just before the first break.

Byrraju Can't Shake Mulder

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

On a {3-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} flop, Rahul Byrraju bet 5,000 and Teun Mulder called. The turn was the {a-Clubs} and Mulder quickly called a second bet worth 10,000. On the {3-Clubs} river, Byrraju had just 12,000 left but opted to check-fold against a shove from Mulder.

Mulder lost a bunch of those chips to Adams shortly after to leave himself with 35,000.
