Aldemir Wrestles Big Pot From Big Stack

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

There were five players in a hand on a flop that showed 826. From the button, Koray Aldemir bet 3,600. The small blind called, one of the biggest stacks in the field Henry Lu called in the big blind while JC Tran folded middle position and the cutoff also departed from the hand.

The three players saw the J come on the turn. Lu led for 9,000. Aldemir raised it up to 28,000 which got the small blind to fold immediately. Lu thought for close to two minutes before he called the raise.

The 4 came on the river to bring three to a flush on board. Lu instantly piled all in. Aldemir gave a resigned looking smile before calling within a few seconds and tabled his cards.
