Bubble Time Arrives As Iakobishvili Exits

Level 15
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Aleksejs Ponakovs raised to 32,000 from under the gun before Leon Sturm put out a three-bet of 95,000 from the cutoff. The action then folded to Gha Iakobishvili, who slammed in his 74,000 chips to call all-in.
Ponakovs deliberated for a while before deciding to muck his cards, leaving the other two players to show down.
Gha Iakobishvili: A?Q?
Leon Sturm: A?K?
Iakobishvili was in bad shape, and the 10?7?9?3?3? board could not save him. He exited in sixth place, leaving the remaining five competitors on the bubble of the tournament.
