Soika Folds Queens Preflop; Akiki Finds Aces Twice in a Row
Level 15
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Gabriel Akiki opened from early position, and Ihar Soika three-bet to 180,000 from middle position. In the cutoff, Yuhang Chen moved all in for 595,000, then Akiki shoved with the biggest stack of the table. Soika went deep into the tank, using several time banks, but eventually folded Q?Q? face up.
Yuhang Chen: K?K? 
Gabriel Akiki: A?A?
Surrounded by his friends, Soika was more than happy when he discovered his opponents hands. Thanks to his fold, he stayed in the tournament while Chen was eliminated on a board of A?3?7?9?2?.
On the next hand, Akiki... had aces again!
