Di Nicola Runs Into Akmert's Kings

Level 1 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Ermanno Di Nicola
Ermanno Di Nicola

Ermanno Di Nicola, let on an extreme short stack after doubling up Toni Kaukua earlier this level, stuck in his last 2,000 from the button and was up against Erdem Akmert in the cutoff.

Ermanno Di Nicola: A?9?
Erdem Akmert: K?K?

Di Nicola was looking for an ace but found no help on the 2?9?7?7?J? board as Akmert's kings sent the recent WSOP bracelet winner to the rail as the first bustout of the tournament.
