Akimov checked to Mugar who continued with a bet of 100,000. Akimov check-raised to 400,000 and Mugar called. The turn was the 8♥ and Akimov just ripped all in for around 1,340,000. Mugar quickly flicked in a chip to call and the cards were tabled.
Baurzhan Akimov: 7♠6♠
Peter Mugar: K♠K♥
Akimov was poised for a big double up after flopping trips, but the river had other things to say as the K♦ peeled off the deck. Mugar improved to a full house and the table erupted in "Oohs" and "Aahs". Akimov was eliminated in 10th place and the final nine players to will conform to the unofficial final table.
