Kosaku Akashi raised to 45,000 from the hijack and was three-bet to 120,000 by Stephen Lieu in the big blind. Akashi then moved all-in with the larger stack and Lieu called all-in for 565,000 total for a massive showdown.
Stephen Lieu: A A
Kosaku Akashi: Q Q
It was a cold deck for Akashi, who had run his ladies straight into Lieu's rockets.
Nothing changed on the 7 6 6 K K runout and Lieu's stack grew to over seven figures while Akashi was knocked down to just 170,000.
