If our Portuguese is sharp, Andre Akkari lost a huge pot recently when his pocket eights were toppled by an opponent's pocket threes.
The Team PokerStars Pro has rebounded very quickly, though. In the last hand, Akkari opened to 11,000 from the button, and he and small blind Toni Pettersson went to battle. Akkari ended up putting his last ~120,000 into the pot, and he rolled over . Pettersson and his needed to improve in a hurry to earn the knockout, but the board ensured Mr. Akkari will be sticking around for a bit longer. He's back up to 250,000 now.
Dmitry Gromov was just eliminated by Vytautas Milvydas after his river push was called. The final board read .
Milvydas called the push with and it was good as Gromov flipped over just a seven when he mucked. The dealer then flipped over his other card - a queen - before sliding the pot to Milvydas. Gromov took extreme exception to this and picked up his cards and threw then at the dealer whilst saying, "I only showed one. Why do you you that?" Then for good measure he threw his player ID card at the dealer too.
We may be all the way over in Barcelona, Spain for the European Poker Tour event, but on this hand it was two American players in action. From the button, Team PokerStars Pro Victor Ramdin raised to 10,500. Robert Firestone reraised all in from the big blind for a little under 100,000. Ramdin gave it only a few seconds of thought and then folded, allowing Firestone's shove to go uncalled.
Ronald Lee's pocket queens were cracked by an opponent's ace-ten a short while ago, and he could scarcely afford the hit. He was very short on chips when he made his final stand from the button, and he was unable to survive the shove as Vanessa Selbst made queens up to send Lee to the exit.
From middle position, Hungarian Benjamin Juhasz raised to 10,500. Italian Mario Adinolfi called on the button and Russian Khazret Nebezhev called from the small blind to make this a multi-national pot.
