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♦ All in
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.
