Qushqar Shoves Into Aces

Level 2 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Vedat Yilmaz
Vedat Yilmaz

Iulian-Andrei Bleau raised to 1,200 in the cutoff before Morad Qushqar moved all in for 17,500 in the small blind. Vedat Yilmaz called in the big blind, while Bleau got out of the way.

Morad Qushqar: A?Q?
Vedat Yilmaz: A?A?

Yilmaz had woken up with aces and spiked the last remaining one in the deck on the 7?4?A? flop to make top set. Qushqar was already drawing dead after the 5? turn, while the 10? river sealed his early elimination.

Aziz Efe was eliminated shortly after doubling up Antoine Hasbani but immediately jumped back into the field with a fresh stack. Aylar Lie also recently joined the field.
