Akkari Eliminates One with a Straight in Day 1b
Level 11
: 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
The completed board was down on Andre Akkari's table, and it read 
. Akkari was in middle position and heads-up against an opponent in the big blind.
Akkari's friend and compatriot Neymar walked over to his table to watch over the action and saw Akkari's opponent move all in for 17,000. The Brazilian wasted no time in making the call and revealed 
for the straight after his opponent could only muster 
for two pair.
Akkari pulled the pot towards him and shared a smile with Neymar before he stacked his new 70,000 chip stack.
