Aldemir Sends Bonomo to the Rail

Adam Lamers

Level 9 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Koray Aldemir and Justin Bonomo were heads-up in a pot with around 700,000 in the middle going to the flop. The dealer fanned the flop of K?6?4? and Bonomo checked from the big blind. Aldemir tossed in a bet of 290,000 in middle position and Bonomo called.

The turn was the 7? and Bonomo checked again. Aldemir announced a bet of 750,000 this time and Bonomo used two time banks before moving all in for around 2,240,000. Aldemir shrugged as he dropped in the call and the cards were tabled.

Justin Bonomo: 5?4?
Koray Aldemir: K?Q?

Aldemir was ahead with his pair of kings but Bonomo had outs with a pair and a straight draw. The A? hit the river and Aldemir's hand held up to eliminate Bonomo in the largest pot of the tournament thus far.
