Niveau 35 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Baurzhan Akimov opened for more than half his stack to 3,000,000 leaving himself just 2,200,000 behind. It then folded to Fabian Quoss in the small blind who only took a moment before moving all in for 6,350,000 effective. The remaining players folded and the action was back on Akimov who snap called to put himself at risk.

Baurzhan Akimov: A♦K♦
Fabian Quoss: A♣Q♠

Akimov was a huge favorite until the dealer burned and turned the 8♠5♣Q♥ flop. The 10♣ turn and 7♠ river would not bring the help that Akimov needed and he hit the rail.
