Adios, Akkari

Andre Akkari
Andre Akkari
We walked up to Andre Akkari's table to see him putting out 6,700 chips on a preflop four- or five-bet. The man in the big blind came along with the call, and it was heads up with a big pot brewing.

The flop rolled out {9-Spades} {10-Clubs} {2-Hearts}, and the big blind checked. Akkari continued out with a small bet of 4,500. His opponent asked for a count on the remainder (about 17,000) before moving all in. Akkari shrugged, nodded slowly, and made the call to put himself at risk.

Showdown
Akkari: {K-Hearts} {K-Clubs}
Big Blind: {A-Diamonds} {A-Clubs}

There wasn't much of a reaction from the Team PokerStars Pro; he seemed to know that there was a good chance his overpair was no good. The turn {5-Clubs} and river {3-Spades} failed to provide him any help, and he's been knocked off here in the fifth level of Day 1.

The hopes of Team PokerStars Brazil now lie with "Maridu" and her stack of 32,000.
