The next hand after chopping with Arie Kliper, Gurcan Gungoren open-shoved for 5,175,000 and Cenk Nigbolu called for his last 2,420,000 in the cutoff. Boris Angelov tanked in the small blind before folding , leaving Gungoren and Nigbolu heads-up.
Cenk Nigbolu:
Gurcan Gungoren:
Gungoren could only laugh upon finding out he had run into a massive cooler as Nigbolu hit the last ace in the deck on the flop to make top set. The board ran out
and Gungoren's top two pair wasn't enough for him to avoid paying off Nigbolu, who came into the final table as the shortest stack but is now above 5,000,000.
