Mustapha Kanit Hits Seven-Figures

Level 14 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Koray Aldemir raised to 44,000 under the gun and Mustapha Kanit called from the button. Both blinds folded, the flop came down {j-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, and the duo checked.

Aldemir check-called a bet of 50,000 on the {9-Diamonds} turn and then one of 150,000 on the {10-Spades} river.

Kanit tabled the {a-Hearts}{j-Spades} for jacks and nines with an ace kicker, and that was good as Aldemir mucked his hand.

Nice River for Koray Aldemir

Aldemir tabled the {a-Clubs}{6-Hearts} for the rivered gutshot straight and Kanit mucked.

Sammartino and Weis Chop

Level 16 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Timothy Adams Eliminated in 6th Place ($75,460)

Level 16 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Timothy Adams
Timothy Adams

Timothy Adams has another sixth-place finish under his belt. Just two days after finishing sixth in the $50,000 Super High Roller for $110,920, he's taken the same spot in the High Roller.

It happened when Adams moved all in under the gun for 283,000 and Oliver Weis called from the small blind. Koray Aldemir then moved all in over the top for 619,000 from the big and and Weis snap-called.

Weis: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Aldemir: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Adams: {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}

Weis was looking for an eight to score the double elimination, while Adams' best shot at surviving was to find an ace. Neither of those situations came to fruition though as instead the board ran out a clean {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{q-Spades}{3-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and Aldemir took down the 1.5 million pot.
