Jamil Wakil raised to 270,000 under the gun as action folded around to Aleksandr Shevliakov in the small blind. He attempted to raise to 350,000, claiming he didn't see Wakil's open, and the floor had to be called over. Shevliakov was eventually forced to make it 420,000 and Wakil moved all in for 3,895,000. Shevliakov snap-called.
Jamil Wakil: Q♦J♦
Aleksandr Shevliakov: A♥K♥
Wakil stood up from his seat and stared across at Shevliakov as the flop came 10♣7♠3♣. The rest of the board came 6♣K♠ to give Shevliakov top pair and Wakil was sent to the rail in sixth place.
"He did it to somebody else yesterday," Wakil said, not believing Shevliakov's explanation. Shevliakov came over to talk to Wakil after the hand before Wakil left the stage.
