Akkari Still Hot, Chen Is Not

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

We caught the action as the turn was being dealt on a {5-}{4-}{2-} board. All of Bill Chen's money was in the middle and Andre Akkari was the one putting him at risk.

Chen: {j-}{j-}
Akkari: {6-}{6-}

Akkari wouldn't need to wait long for help when the turn hit with a {3-}. The river bricked out for Chen and eliminated him from the tournament. Akkari now has 45,000.
