Hassabis Goes Up; Aksoy Goes Down

With over 10,000 lying patiently in the middle adjacent to a board of {7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, Demis Hassabis moved all in for precisely 4,125. Metin Aksoy, who flew out of the blocks early doors, was now left with a seemingly torturous decision as he squirmed awkwardly in his seat like a frog in a blender. Eventually, he made the call, leaving himself just 3,300, before finding that his {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades} was in dire straights against Hassabis' {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. No miracle on the {3-Spades} river gave Hassabis the pot.
