Akyel Survives Elimination
Level 18
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Konstantin Voronin made it 120,000 to go from the cutoff and Ramazan Akyel shoved for 380,000 from the small blind. After a long tank, OIun Cenk moved all in over the top for 1,200,000 from the big blind. Voronin folded what he said was ace-jack, and Akyel and Cenk flipped up their cards.
Ramazan Akyel: A♦10♠ 
Ogun Cenk: K♣Q♣
Akyel found himself in a great spot to double-up, if he could avoid an unfortunate runout.
The flop came down 10♦9♦5♦ to give Akyel top pair and a flush draw. The 8♦ turn left Cenk drawing dead, and the irrelevant A♥ landed on the river to give Akyel the much-needed double.
