Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
On the first hand of Day 2, Georgios Skaparis got his last 30,000 in the middle from the cutoff and Dmitry Gromov called on the button. Gabriel Akiki, who had only just registered for the tournament, then reshoved in the big blind and Gromov called.
Georgios Skaparis: K♠Q♣ 
Gabriel Akiki: 9♦9♣
Dmitry Gromov: K♥Q♥
The board ran out 4♦6♠10♦3♠7♦ and Akiki's pair of nines were enough to earn him a double up and send Skaparis to an early exit.
