Akimov Puts a Massive Cooler on Budak

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Baurzhan Akimov

Four players went to a flop of 5?9?7? where Erkan Budak bet 115,000 from the cutoff. Only Baurzhan Akimov called on the button.

Both players checked the 5? turn before Budak bet 215,000 on the 10? river. Akimov took his time before moving all in, and Budak snap-called for his last 200,000.

Budak showed 7?7? for a flopped set that improved to a full house on the turn, but Akimov had 9?9? for a higher full house to send Budak to the rail.

The remaining 27 players are now drawing for seats at the final three tables.
