Daniyar Aubakirov Eliminated in 14th Place (€73,500)

Dan O'Hair

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Daniyar Aubakirov opened to 240,000 first-to-act and was three-bet by Carl Shaw in the cutoff to 900,000. Action folded back around to Aubakirov, who called.

Aubakirov checked to Shaw on the 10♦K♥9♣ flop and he continued for 550,000 Aubakirov then check-raised to 1,400,000 and Shaw called

The A♥ fell on the turn and Aubakirov went back to checking, which was met with a 1,700,000 bet from Shaw. Aubakirov announced he was all in for approximately 6,000,000 and Shaw snap-called to put Aubakirov at risk.

Daniyar Aubakirov: 9♠9♥
Carl Shaw: Q♠J♣

Shaw had flopped the nuts against Aubakirov, who was looking for the board to pair to remain in contention.

"This is a big one," Shaw said as he awaited the river.

The dealer brought the 4♠, which got an exhilarated "Yes!" from Shaw, who scooped a massive pot and eliminated Aubakirov in 14th place.
