Haiduk Spikes a Queen to Bust Basta; Akyun Folds Queens to Henriques

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

John Basta moved all in for 520,000 in early position and Vadzim Haiduk called on the button.

John Basta: 88 All in
Vadzim Haiduk: AQ

The flop came Q43 and Haiduk took the lead with a pair of queens. The rest of the board ran out 42 and Basta was sent to the rail.

At the same time at another table, Daniel Henriques had a raise of 160,000 in front of him on the button before Ahmet Akyun reraised to 350,000 in the small blind. Henriques then moved all in.

Akyun had around 900,000 remaining and tanked for several minutes before folding QQ. Henriques showed him AK as he took the pot.

"That's the best case scenario. You're not doing that with jacks," Akyun said.
