Jovan Kenjic opened from early position to 60,000 before facing a 145,000 three-bet from Baurzhan Akimov in middle position. It then folded to Andrey Kotelnikov on the button who wasted little time before moving all in for 400,000. Kenjic got out of the way and action was back on Akimov who asked for a count and then called.
Andrey Kotelnikov: K?K?
Baurzhan Akimov: A?K?
The full board ran out 8?A?8?2?4? and with a pair of aces Akimov earned the chips and the knockout.
