Ozgur Secilmis�� Main Event Story

Ozgur Secilmis is representing Turkey at the 2021 WSOP Main Event final table and is hoping to become only the second Turkish national to win a coveted WSOP bracelet. Fellow countryman Orhan Ates became the first Turkish bracelet winner when he won a $525 6-Handed Bounty event online at GGPoker in 2020.

Secelmis�� early live poker career saw him mostly compete in Cyprus, which is where he enjoyed his career-best score of $41,645. This was his reward for a third-place finish in a $1,500 No-Limit Hold��em tournament in May 2018. Secilmis cashed in the WSOP MILLION$ online event at the WSOP Online 2020 at GGPoker, but cashed for the first time in Vegas at this year��s series.

Five cashes, including a deep run and 74th place finish in the $1,000 Mini Main Event precluded this epic run in the $10,000 Main Event.

Secelmis bought into the 2021 WSOP Main Event on Day 1d alongside 1,932 other hopefuls. The Turkish grinder turned his starting stack into 260,000 chips, which was the third largest stack of the flight.

He has added to his stack on each Main Event day since; those 260,000 Day 1 chips had swelled to 4,050,000 by the conclusion of Day 5. Secelmis more than quadrupled his stack to 14,700,000 on Day 6, to place him ninth from 36 survivors, before increasing his ammunition to 24,500,000 on Day 7, which places him sixth at the nine-handed final table.+

Ozgur Secilmis�� Key Hands

Even if Secilmis does not go all the way and become the 2021 WSOP Main Event champion, he will be remembered by anyone following the PokerNews updates and whoever tuned into the PokerGO stream.

Day 3 saw the money bubble fast approaching, and a cruel yet quite epic hand take place during the 3,000/6,000/6,000a level. Vito Distefano opened to 11,500 with A?J? and he found four callers: Omer Gabay with K?Q?, William Benson with A?10?. Scelimis with 6?6?, and Chang Liu holding 4?4?.

The flop fell 6?4?4?, gifting Secilmis a full house but Liu quad fours. Everyone checked on the flop, leading to the 6? landing on the turn, improving Scelimis to quad sixes. Again, everyone checked to the 5? river where Secilmis bet 55,000 and Liu raised to 225,000. Secilimis set Liu all-in for his 390,000 stack, and Liu snap-called, only to see the bad news that his WSOP Main Event was over.

What to Watch For

Secilmis has played well on his way to the final table, but also caught a lot of cards. He cracked Ramon Colillas�� pocket queens with ace-queen after hitting Broadway on the river, before busting Colillas with king-queen verss queen-ten.

He also ended Mitchell Halverson��s participation when his ace-queen flopped trip queens.

Secilmis sits down in Seat 4, so is in the big blind whenever chip leader Koray Aldemir has the button. He also has to contend with having George Holmes to his immediate left, and Chase Bianchi to the left of him. Bianchi is down to 18 big blinds, so is more likely to three-bet shove over any Secilmis opening raise.
