Paytas Scores Double Up; Akanuma Hits The Rail
The action was picked up when all the chips were in the middle preflop between Yuichi Akanuma and Nathan Paytas, who was the player at risk for his last 1,380,000.
Nathan Paytas: 8♥8♠
Yuichi Akanuma: A♦K♠
It was a coin-flip preflop, but when then board ran out Q♠J♣3♣2♣7♠, it was the eights that held up for Paytas to score the double up and leave Akanuma short.
On the next hand, Akanuma shoved for 705,000 in early position and it folded to Logan Hoover on the button who made it 1,600,000 to go. The blinds got out of the way and the cards were shown.
Yuichi Akanuma: A♦9♥
Logan Hoover: A♥K♦
Akanuma was in rough shape and in need of some help to stay alive. The board ran out K♣J♥10♠6♥3♥, and the ace-king for Hoover held up to send Akanuma to the exit.
