Yilmaz Picks Off Arakelian With Sixes

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Candido Cappiello raised to 50,000 in early position before Artem Arakelian moved all in for 680,000 in the small blind. Vedat Yilmaz in the big blind asked for a count and tanked for a minute before calling, while Cappiello got out of the way.

Artem Arakelian: AJ
Vedat Yilmaz: 66

Arakelian was racing for his tournament life but couldn't catch up on the 7K237 board to hit the rail.

"He saved you. I win," Cappiello said, saying he folded ace-queen.
