Big Slick Does the Trick for Murad Akhundov

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Murad Akhundov got his last 132,000 all in preflop and found himself flipping against Sylvain Loosli, who if you recall finished fourth in the 2013 World Series of Poker Main Event for early $2.8 million.

Loosli: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Akhundov: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Akhundov needed to improve to stay alive, and while he didn't do it on the {2-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{q-Hearts} flop, he did on the {A-Hearts} turn. The {10-Hearts} river was a safe card for Akhundov, and he shipped the double.
