Akimov Flops the Joint to Bust Duan
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Thomas Boivin opened to 25,000 in the cutoff and Baurzhan Akimov three-bet to 85,000 on the button. Bin Duan was in the big blind with around 150,000 and ripped all in. Boivin quickly folded and Akimov felt obligated to call.
Bin Duan: A♠Q♥
Baurzhan Akimov: J♣10♦
The dealer fanned the flop of 9♣8♥7♦ and Akimov flopped the nut straight to leave Duan nearly drawing dead. The 5♣ on the turn sealed the deal and the 6♣ on the river was just a formality.
