Kakon Falls Short; Eliminated Shortly After
Level 18
: Limits 12,000/24,000, 0 ante
William Kakon had just run into the aces of Alex Keating a couple of hands prior to fall short-stacked and was back in the mix as he raised under the gun. Frank Yakubson three-bet next to act, and Nick Caltabiano called in the big blind. Kakon called for his last 30,000.
When the 10♣8♦4♦ flop hit the felt, Caltabiano quickly check-folded to a bet from Yakubson.
William Kakon: Q♥4♥
Frank Yakubson: K♠10♠
Both players flopped a pair but Yakubson was ahead with his pair of tens. The 3♥ turn and 5♠ river were no help for Kakon as he stood up from the table.
