Prakesh Makes Good Fold; Aksoy Doubles
Action was opened in middle position to 5,550 before a late position player called and then Austin Prakesh put in a three-bet from the cutoff to 16,000. The action then moved to Mark Smith in the small blind who four-bet all in for 235,500. Tinay Aksoy was in the big blind and also moved all in for 60,000.
The action then folded all the way back to Prakesh who had a big decision with two players all in. He tanked for almost two-minutes before he finally folded ace-king offsuit face up. The two remaining players tabled their hands with Aksoy at risk.
Tinay Aksoy: 8?8?
Mark Smith: Q?Q?
The full board ran out 10?2?6?8?6? and with his turned set a Aksoy earned a pure double. Smith stayed alive and Prakesh saved himself a pile of chips by folding a premium.
