Kapoor Wins Two Big Hands; Eliminates Bouskila

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

In the first hand, Akshay Kapoor raised to 2,800 from early position before the player in the blinds re-raised to 6,500. He called.

The flop came {a-}{10-}{5-} and Kapoor's opponent bet 6,000. He called.

The turn fell the {a-} and this time Kapoor was met with a check. He bet 6,000. His opponent called.

Another {a-} fell on the river and Kapoor fired out 15,000 after his opponent checked. He was called before tabling {a-}{j-} for quad aces. Kapoor's opponent claimed he had pocket kings as he mucked his hand.

Michel Bouskila's last hand saw him move all in for 22,000 after Kapoor opened with a bet of 2,200. Kapoor called and the cards were shown.

Akshay Kapoor: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Michel Bouskila: {j-}{j-}

The flop came {5-}{6-}{10-} with two diamonds giving Kapoor a flush draw but the {k-} on the turn was all he needed to take the lead. The {2-} didn't help Bouskila on the river and he was eliminated as Kapoor rocketed up the leaderboard.
