Akmert Goes Runner-Runner to Double Through Derpin
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Lucas Derpin raised to 6,000 from the hijack and Erdem Akmert shoved for his last 42,000 on the button. Derpin asked for a count and called to put Akmert at risk.
Erdem Akmert: 4♦4♥
Lucas Derpin: K♦Q♦
The 5♠Q♠7♥ flop paired Derpin's queen to give him a commanding lead, but the 8♣ turn and 6♠ river upgraded Akmert to a straight to award him an unlikely double up.
