Akyel Flips Out Darkin
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Ramazan Akyel is gaining some momentum and just knocked out a player to pad out his stack.
Akyel raised to 8,000 from under the gun and got a call from the player next to him before Samuel Darkin made it 25,000 from middle position. The button called, then Akyel ripped in his stack of over 200,000. Only Darkin made the call for his stack of around 120,000.
Samuel Darkin: Q?Q? 
Ramazan Akyel: A?K?
Darkin was looking for a double-up but saw one of the worst flops possible as the 4?K?7? board gave Akyel top pair. No improvement came on either the 8? turn or 9? river, and Darkin was sent to the rail just after registration closed.
