Akerreta Smacks the Turn to Stun Crous on the Bubble
There was an elimination on the main feature table to bring the field down to 48 players and the money bubble, but hand-for-hand didn't get a chance to start after Gorka Akerreta put a cruel beat on Santi Crous.
Daniel Wu had opened to 30,000 under the gun and Crous moved all in for 90,000 in the cutoff. Gorka Akerreta then three-bet to 120,000 in the small blind, and Wu called to create a side pot.
Akerreta bet 150,000 on the A♦9♣9♥ flop, and Wu quickly folded.
Santi Crous: A♠K♦ 
Gorka Akerreta: 8♦8♥
Crous had flopped two pair to take the lead, but the 8♠ fell on the turn to give Akerreta a full house as Crous hung his head in disappointment. The river was the K♥ and he was sent to the rail on the money bubble.
The remaining 47 players are in the money.
