Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Andre Akkari opened for 16,000 under the gun and action folded to Josh Prager who made it 45,000. "I'm happy to show you" Prager said with a smile, trying to convince Akkari to just lay it down.

Akkari asked how much it was, and then four-bet to 125,000. "I show you" he replied with a smile.

"Ok, I'm all in" Prager said. Akkari made the call for 296,000 total.

Josh Prager: {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Andre Akkari: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}

The flop came {6-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and everyone held their breath. The {10-Spades} on the turn was a blank but the {8-Diamonds} on the river wasn't.

"Two tough days" Prager mumbled, "Just take it!"

Prager's chips weren't all taken by Akkari, Prager had 70,000 left after the hand.

"He's the nicest guy in poker" Akkari said, talking about Prager, "Sorry man!"

"That's a bad beat man" Prager's neighbor Ole Schemion added.
