Akimov Leaves Retiere with Crumbs
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
With two players seeing a board of 10♦A♠5♦8♥4♣ and roughly 400,000 already in the middle, Roman Retiere checked from early position and Baurzhan Akimov moved all in for 290,000, sending Retiere into the tank.
After a couple minutes Retiere flicked in the call and tabled J♥J♣. Akimov showed down A♣A♥ for top set to take down a massive pot, leaving Retiere with just one big blind.
