Akkari Holds on to Double Through Sydenstricker
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Andre Akkari moved all in for his last 440,000 from the hijack and Joao Sydenstricker called in the cutoff to put him at risk.
Andre Akkari: A♥J♣
Joao Sydenstricker: A♥9♥
Akkari flopped the nuts on Q♠K♠10♥, making a Broadway straight. Sydenstricker, though, picked up a flush draw on the Q♥ turn as Akkari needed to hold on the river to survive.
The river came the 2♣ and Akkari flashed two thumbs up as he doubled up.
