Behbehani, Vieira Bust, Aldemir Ascends
Fast and furious action continued on all three tables towards the midway point of Level 12.
First, Salman Behbehani busted to Mikita Badziakouski after he shoved his final 130,000 into the Belarusian’s big blind. Badziakouski called and was flipping with [4h4s] against [AcQd].
That flip was pretty much over after the [7h4d2d] flop and after Behbehani didn’t pick up a diamond on the turn his elimination was confirmed.
While that board ran out on Table 3, Koray Aldemir and Xiao Yang Luo were playing a big one on Table 2.
Aldemir, who was in the big blind, checked the [Qc6s3sJd] flop and called after Luo bet 62,000.
The [As] completed the board and Aldemir checked again. Luo used a time extension before he bet 68,000 and Aldemir used a time extension of his own before he moved all-in. Luo got a count, but did not call the 172,000 chip shove.
As those stacks settled, with Aldemir playing over 400,000 and Luo hovering near 250,000, Sam Soverel and Joao Vieira flipped for a pile on Table 1.
Soverel held [9h9s] and the pair held against Vieira’s [AcQc] on the [Js8c3h3c2s] runout.
Play is now down to the final two tables and the remaining players are a few minutes from their next break.
