Big Stack Wars

Two of the biggest stacks in the tournament were tangled up in a hand with the flop cards already dealt and 32,000 in the middle.

Umberan Akhtar was sat on the button with a 20,000 bet in front and Edgar Drozdov had raised it to 61,000. Akhtar handed the dealer his two remaining time bank cards and stood up whilst deliberating what to do.

"I have six-three" he said when he was halfway through his time. "Why would you do that with a flush draw?" he asked Drozdov, who gave no reply. He ultimately decided to fold but did indeed have six-three, which he flashed to the table. Drozdov didn't reciprocate, sending his cards into the muck.
