Smith Busts Degrave Boat Over Boat; Chauskin Takes Out Aksu
Dan Smith raised to 10,000 in the cutoff and Theo Degrave called in the big blind.
The flop came 8?2?5? and Smith continued for 16,000. Degrave called and the 5? fell on the turn.
Degrave then led out for 16,000 and Smith called. The river was the 5? and Degrave checked.
Smith moved all in and Degrave tanked for a moment before calling for his last 100,000. Smith turned over J?J? for a full house, while Degrave tossed 10?8? into the muck on his way to the exit.
At the same time at another table, Osman Aksu moved all in for around 180,000 from early position on a flop of 10?Q?4? and Natan Chauskin put him at risk from the cutoff.
Osman Aksu: 8?8? 
Natan Chauskin: K?K?
Chauskin was ahead with his kings but needed to dodge Aksu's flush draw. The 6? turn was safe, while the 3? secured the massive pot for Chauskin and catapulted him into contention for the chip lead.
