"All in and a call," we heard a dealer call from the corner of the room. We made our way over and discovered Murad Akhundov was all in for roughly 125,000 holding the and in trouble against the 
of Oleh Okhotskyi, who barely had him covered.
The 
flop was disaster for Akhundov as Okhotskyi spiked a set. That said, Akhundov did pick up a Broadway draw to a jack. The 
turn wasn't paint, and neither was the 
river. Akhundov rapped the table and then took his leave in 80th place.
