Sean Gitzwiller opened to 350,000 only to have Sadan Turker move all in for 3,820,000. Gitzwiller made the call.

Gitzwiller: {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}
Turker: {9-Hearts}{8-Spades}

With Gitzwiller in the lead and holding the chip advantage, the {8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop saw him give up the lead to Turker.

The {9-Diamonds} on the turn would put a lock on the hand for Turker as the {A-Spades} completed the board on the river.

With that pot, Turker climbs to 7,680,000 while leaving Getzwiller on 4,855,000 in chips.

Turker Tanks, Three-Bets, Then Folds

Level 32 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Sean Getzwiller opened the betting by raising to 350,000 on his button. In a departure from his usual quick action, Sadan Turker began rubbing his face while he slowly cut out stacks of chips. Eventually he settled on a three-bet to 775,000 and Getzwiller instantly waved his hands towards the pot, saying "all-in."

Turker did not need to tank this time and quickly tossed his cards towards the muck.

After Sadan Turker opened to 330,000 on the button, Sean Getzwiller made the call and the flop fell {A-Clubs}{2-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. Getzwiller led out for 300,000 and Turker came along for the ride.

The turn card fell {K-Hearts} and both players opted to check.

The river was the {2-Clubs} and Getzwiller checked it yet again. After Turker checked behind, Getzmiller yelled "damn it!" and angrily threw down his {A-Spades}{2-Diamonds} for a full house. He told his friends on the rail that he thought Turker would bet it, and while he did not get much value from his boat, Getswiller did win the pot to continue climbing in the chip count.

Sadan Spikes An Ace, Takes Small Pot

Level 32 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

On one of the few hands to see a flop, Sean Getzwiller called Sadan Turker's preflop raise of 340,000 and the dealer spread the {10-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} across the felt.

Getzwiller checked and Turker fired a bet of 375,000 into the middle. Keeping with his apparent strategy of refusing to three-bet, Getzwiller mucked his hand and Turker took the pot. He flashed the ace of spades as he collected the chips and Turker appears content to capture the small pots in this battle.
