Quick Exit for Aldemir After Rough Start

zedmaster84

Niveau 11 : Limits 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

With four bets in three-ways preflop to the K♠Q♦3♠ flop, Eddie Blumenthal was all-in for 12,000 and called by Nacho Barbero. Koray Aldemir then raised to 16,000 and Barbero called as they created a small side pot. On the 2♥ turn, Barbero bet and he earned a call by Aldemir, who was then left with 10,000 behind to the 5♦ river.

Barbero bet again and Aldemir tanked for two minutes to sigh-fold.

Blumenthal tabled the A♦K♥8♥3♦ and won half the pot as Barbero had the A♣Q♥6♥2♦ for inferior two pair but superior low. Aldemir revealed that he had won half the pot, after which Blumenthal joked "thank you". The last two chips of the 2021 WSOP Main Event champion vanished shortly after.
