Abakirov Calls Down With Deuces as Kaukua Rockets Up the Counts

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Toni Kaukua
Toni Kaukua

Toni Kaukua and Kubanychbek Abakirov built a pot of around 60,000 heading to the turn on a board of {4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}. Kaukua asked Abakirov to see how much he had behind, but Abakirov, wearing a pair of headphones, didn't reply before Kaukua bet 35,000 in early position.

Abakirov took his time before he called on the button, leading to the {k-Diamonds} river. Kaukua paused for around a minute before he moved all in for 120,500.

Abakirov took even more time, spending several minutes in the tank before he called. Kaukua turned over {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a flush and Abakirov tried to muck his cards before the table reminded the dealer he was forced to show.

The dealer retrieved Abakirov's {2-Hearts}{2-Spades} from the muck as Kaukua raked in the massive pot.
