Andrei Spataru raised to 40,000 in middle position before Daniyar Aubakirov three-bet to 100,000 in the hijack. "Gamble," Aubakirov said to Spataru, motioning for him to put his chips in the middle. Spataru obliged and shoved all in as Aubakirov called for his last 250,000.
Daniyar Aubakirov: K♦J♦ 
Andrei Spataru: A♣Q♥
Aubakirov took the lead on the J♣9♦3♠ flop with a pair of jacks, while the 8♠ fell on the turn. The river was the A♦ to give Spataru a pair of aces and send Aubakirov to the rail.
