O��Dwyer and Aldermir Bust; Stack Check
The field is now thinning out with both Steve O��Dwyer and Koray Aldemir departing in a flurry of cards and chips. O��Dwyer became the first official casualty after getting all the chips in pre-flop with ace-king and found himself racing for his tournament life against the pocket fours of Wang Qiang.
Unfortunately for O��Dwyer he was unable to pair his ace or king and fell at the hands of Qiang for the second time today, though with the re-entry period now over, this will be the last time as well, at least for this particular tournament.
We caught Aldemir��s exit after arriving at the tail end of a hand between the defending champion and Dan Cates. We picked up the action on the river with the community cards spread 
just as Aldemir moved all-in for his last 130,000 into an already sizable pot.
Cates called instantly and while Aldemir turned over 
for the flush this was not enough to beat Cate��s turned boat as the US player was holding 
and Aldemir headed for the rail while Cates stacked up to 905,000.
