Abakirov Keeps Stacking Chips, Busts Koko

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Aleksandr Chernikov raised to 6,500 before big stack Kubanychbek Abakirov reraised to 22,000 on the button. In the big blind, Yonatan Koko shoved all in for around 75,000.

Chernikov quickly got out of the way while Abakirov slammed down {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}.

"Did you call," Koko asked Abakirov.

"Of course," Abakirov replied as Koko showed {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{2-Spades} and Abakirov's jacks stayed in front to send Koko to the rail and his stack up to around 700,000.
