Asaf Avci Eliminated in 15th Place ($13,700)

Alexey Rybin has the look of a man who likes to push other men around, and maybe this is why Asaf Avci has just handed him half a million chips in the following hand.

Avci opens the cutoff for 29,000, Rybin makes a huge three-bet to 125,000 from the small blind, Avci moves all in for 540,000 and Rybin snap calls. This is a huge pot.

Showdown

Rybin: [Ad] [Ah]
Avci: [Js] [Jh]

Board: [Ts] [9d] [4s] [3c] [8d]

The aces hold and Rybin has one of the biggest chip leads the WPT has seen in a long while.
