PokerStars Ambassador Akkari Denied a Double-Up
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Darius Gadeikis opened to 4,000 from the hijack, off of a stack of around 75,000, before PokerStars Ambassador Andre Akkari moved all in for 36,500 from the button. Luke Appleton, in the big blind, thought it over for some time before making the call which pushed out Gadeikis.
Andre Akkari: A♠Q♥
Luke Appleton: A♣J♠
The 5♣5♠2♥ flop kept Akkari in front until Appleton hit his three-outer on the J♣ turn to leave Akkari hanging on by a thread. The 9♣ river offered no salvation for Akkari and the Brazilian departed the Main Event.
