Akash Swooping Into Late Lead
Level 8
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
With just over twenty minutes to go in the day, we’ve just witnessed the biggest pot of the tournament with a double elimination and a pot worth over 150,000 heading the way of Akash Mazumdar.
It was Mazumdar who started the madness with a raise before Stevan Chew three-bet to 5,100 on the button. The action passed to the big blind who announced all in over the top for around 46,000. Mazumdar then did the same for all of his 63,000-chip stack to put the pressure back onto Chew.
The likeable Aussie pro shook his head in dismay and pondered his decision for several minutes before finally committing to call off his remaining chips.
Big Blind:
Mazumdar:
Chew:
It was a huge cooler and there were no surprises as the board ran out
