Akgul Misses the Money in Cruel Fashion
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Huseyin Akgul raised to 50,000 in early position before Andrei Spataru three-bet to 100,000 in the hijack. Akgul paused for around 30 seconds before moving all in for 170,000 and Spataru snap-called.
Huseyin Akgul: A♠A♦ 
Andrei Spataru: K♣K♦
Akgul had woken up with aces and was a big favorite to double up until the flop brought 7♣K♥Q♠ to give Spataru top set. The rest of the board came J♣9♣ and Akgul was eliminated.
