Gokhan Akinci opens the action with a limp in early position which is followed by a raise to 22,000 by Senchylo Zuev to his immediate left. Nicolae Jalba calls that bet on the button.

Now back on Akinci, he back-raises all in to 103,000 which gets a quick fold from Zuev, but an equally quick call from Jalba in hopes of bursting the bubble.

The flop comes with a nine in the window for Akinci, immediately prompting Jalba to cut out the exact amount to pay off Akinci, which he does following the complete runout.

With Akinci’s double-up, 44 players remain with one more elimination needed to end Day 1A.

Gokhan Akinci – 248,000 (31 bb)
Nicolae Jalba – 210,000 (26 bb)
