They met during Poker Masters and have continued to battle ever since! Check out Ali Imsirovic's analysis of this throwback hand against USPO winner Stephen Chidwick on the latest "Run It Back with Remko" exclusive from the PokerGO Studio.
Koray Aldemir and David Peters saw a 
flop for the minimum with Aldemir holding 
in the small blind and Peters 
in the big.
Aldemir bet 25,000 on the flop and 125,000 on the 
turn, with Peters sticking around. The river was the 
and Aldemir fired the third barrel by moving all in.
Peters had the bad end of the straight and 545,000 behind. He thought long and hard before folding the best hand.

Seth Davies raised all in for 270,000 from the hijack and Alex Foxen called from the big blind.
Davies: 
Foxen: 
Both players had the same hand, but each were suited. The 
flop gave Foxen a Royal Flush draw and Davies a backdoor diamond draw.
The 
turn meant Davies needed to avoid a club on the river to survive, but that proved easier said than done as the 
spiked to give Foxen the flush.

Welcome back to the penultimate event of the 2019 U.S. Poker Open. What started with 41 runners is down to the final six, and surprise, surprise, Sean Winter is the chip leader.
Winter has been the hottest player of the USPO this year and remarkably will be appearing in his fifth final table of the series, having over $400,000 in cashes thus far and 440 points on the leader board, behind only Stephen Chidwick who has 540.
