Akimov Puts a Massive Cooler on Budak

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Baurzhan Akimov
Baurzhan Akimov

Four players went to a flop of 597 where Erkan Budak bet 115,000 from the cutoff. Only Baurzhan Akimov called on the button.

Both players checked the 5 turn before Budak bet 215,000 on the 10 river. Akimov took his time before moving all in, and Budak snap-called for his last 200,000.

Budak showed 77 for a flopped set that improved to a full house on the turn, but Akimov had 99 for a higher full house to send Budak to the rail.

The remaining 27 players are now drawing for seats at the final three tables.
