Aldemir Soars to the Top

Level 24 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

The new chip leader — or close to — in the Main Event is German high roller Koray Aldemir, who clashed with Super Seniors winner Jean-Luc Adam in what's surely one of, if not the biggest pot of the tournament thus far.

While exact action is unknown as of yet, the board was reading {a-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and at least 2 million flew in from Adam's end (small blind), met by a snapcall from Aldemir (under the gun).

Jean-Luc Adam: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Koray Aldemir: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}

Adam was drawing stone dead going into the river, making the {j-Spades} that popped up a mere formality.

Shortly after, Nick Petrangelo was moved to the open seat two spots to Aldemir's right.
