On a flop of 8c4c2d, the big blind checks and Ory Hen bets 7,500 from middle position. Ty Akbasli calls from the cutoff and the big blind calls as well.

The turn is the Ac and action checks to Akbasli, who bets 12,500. The big blind calls and Hen folds. The river is the 3s and the big blind bets 25,000. Akbasli bets enough to put the big blind all in and the big blind quickly calls, he is all in for about 40,000 total.

Akbasli tables Kc3c, good for the nut flush and he drags the pot against the big blind’s 7s5h, giving him a straight.

Akbasli eliminates a player just as they head on their last break of the night. He is the chip leader of the flight with about an hour left of play.

Ty Akbasli – 268,000
