Akansu Spikes an Ace to Bust Cotescu
Level 13
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Sandra Cotescu opened to 6,000 from middle position and Emrah Akansu shoved for 71,000 out of the small blind. After it folded back to Cotescu, she called with slightly fewer chips than Akansu.
Sandra Cotescu: J♦J♠ 
Emrah Akansu: A♠J♣
Cotescu was in great shape to double-up and leave Akansu on fumes. However, the flop of A♦4♣6♣ propelled Akansu into the lead with a pair of aces. There was no miracle one-outer for Cotescu on the 8♥ turn or A♣ river. Akansu pulled in the pot and Cotescu was sent to the showers.
