2021 Champ Aldemir Scoops a Massive Pot
On the PokerGO feature table, Koray Aldemir, the 2021 WSOP Main Event winner, raised on the button to 8,000 with 5♥4♥ before Dan Grolemund three-bet to 26,000 in the small blind with A♠Q♠.
After the world champ made the call, the flop came out 4♦Q♣5♠, a bit of a cooler. Grolemund led for 33,000 and received a call. When the 2♦ appeared on the turn, Grolemund this time opted for a check with top pair.
Aldemir, holding two pair, bet 62,000, about half the size of the pot. Grolemund then went for a check-raise all in for 222,000 total. That put Aldemir into a brief tank before calling the bet. Grolemund had picked up a gutshot straight draw on the turn as an extra four outs, but the 6♣ on the river sent the past champion a monster pot of 570,000, and sent Grolemund home on Day 3.
