Yurasov Loses the Minimum
Level 33
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Baurzhan Akimov opened to 500,000 from middle position with 9♠9♣ and Dmitry Yurasov called from the button with A♥J♠.
The flop came A♣A♦7♠ and Akimov fired a 400,000 continuation bet. Yurasov made the call.
Akimov slowed down with a check on the 4♦ turn and Yurasov bet 1,200,000. Once again Akimov called.
Akimov hit gin on the 9♦ river and checked once more with his full house. Yurasov checked behind with his trip aces only to see the bad news as a sizable pot was pushed in Akimov's direction.
