Aldemir Spikes a Queen to Stay Alive
Level 23
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Henrik Hecklen opened 425,000 in the cutoff and Koray Aldemir raised to 2,000,000 in the big blind. Hecklen wasted no time announcing all-in and after taking a peak at the other table, Aldemir called off his 2,200,000 total.
Hendrik Hecklen: A♦K♦
Koray Aldemir: A♣Q♥
Aldemir was in rough shape and the J♣8♠7♦ flop was no help. However, the Q♣ hit the turn, giving him the lead and the 7♣ river changed nothing as Aldemir collected his double.
