On the second round of hand-for-hand play, Tampa regular Maroun Akiki met his fate at the hands of fellow regular Alex Ivan.

Akiki was on the button with 20,000 in the middle and action was on Ivan in the big blind. Ivan contemplated his options before shoving all-in for 181,000. It was back on Akiki and he did some contemplating of his own. It took a few moments of thought, but he called. At the time, it was unclear who was at risk.

Akiki:
Ivan:

The flop nailed Ivan, falling . The turn and river didn’t change a thing and Ivan earned the pot. Akiki’s stack was counted down to 180,000 — Ivan had him covered by a lone orange 1,000 chip. Akiki was eliminated 64th sending the final 63 into the money.
