Akkari Counterfeited on the River
Level 33
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Action folded to Joao Sydenstricker in the small blind who limped in with J♥10♣. Andre Akkari checked 10♥8♣ as both players hit a pair on the K♥10♠3♠ flop.
Sydenstricker and Akkari both checked to the 8♠ turn, where Akkari made two pair. Sydenstricker led out for 375,000 and Akkari called.
The K♣ river counterfeited Akkari's two pair and gave Sydenstricker the lead with his jack-kicker. He bet 425,000 and Akkari quickly called, only to be shown the unfortunate news by his countryman.
