Loeser Doubles Through Aldemir
Manig Loeser was just spotted sitting on a big stack and he informed of us a double up he managed to secure through Koray Aldemir.
Loeser relayed to us that was it was Cary Katz who raised to 2,000 before Aldemir three-bet to 7,000 from the cutoff before the action got to Loeser in the big blind. Loeser four-bet to 20,000 and Katz folded before Aldemir made the call.
The flop brought out nine-seven-deuce with two spades and Loeser bet 18,000. Aldemir shoved for 81,000 effectively and Loeser called showing two kings. Aldemir tables queens and neither the turn nor river changed the outcome resulting in an early double up for Loeser.

Seated Shortly After the Start
After a dozen players were seated from the start, two more have joined Event #1 before the end of the first level.
China’s Gang Wang is seated between Manig Loeser and Joao Vieira, while Venezuelan Giuseppe Iadisernia is seated between Sam Soverel and Barry Shulman. Those additions have filled out both seven-handed tables, so the next entry will force the first redraw of the day.
