Neagoe Drills the Turn to Bust Akeh

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Darius Neagoe
Darius Neagoe

Ashraf Akeh limped from the hijack and Darius Neagoe raised to 40,000 from the cutoff. After the rest of the table folded, Akeh called to see a flop.

When the flop came down 998 Akeh shoved for around 70,000 and Neagoe called.

Ashraf Akeh: 66 All in
Darius Neagoe: A10

Akeh had shoved when the safe flop had fallen and just needed to fade the turn and river to double. However, the A turn propelled Neagoe into the lead with top pair. The 10 river didn't help Akeh, and he was sent to the rail.
