Aldemir on the Rise; Johnson Doubles Through Arieh
Pot-Limit Omaha
Koray Aldemir had previously nearly doubled and then won a pot without showdown when Talal Shakerchi check-folded the K♠7♦5♦Q♠8♦ river to a bet worth 125,000 by Aldemir.
One hand later, John Monnette opened to 30,000 in the cutoff and Shakerchi instantly called out of the big blind when it was his turn. They checked the 9♣7♦3♥ flop and Shakerchi's bet of 50,000 on the 5♣ turn won the pot without resistance.
Omaha Hi-Lo
One table over, Josh Arieh raised and called a three-bet by Marco Johnson as they headed to the Q♥J♠6♦ flop. Johnson check-called a bet and led the 5♠ turn, Arieh raised and Johnson moved all-in for Arieh to call.
Marco Johnson: A♦J♣5♦3♦
Josh Arieh: A♥K♠4♠2♠
"Alright, let's pair the board," Johnson mentioned in table chat. He was also happy with the 2♥ river as his two pair and nut low earned a full double for 158,000 in total.
