Akeh Stacks Hasbani

Level 2 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

After a few limps, Ashraf Akeh made it 4,500 to go from the cutoff and Antoine Hasbani four-bet to 20,000 on the button. A player in the hijack called, and Akeh also called.

With over 60,000 chips in the middle going to the KJ2 flop, the hijack checked and Akeh bet 20,000. Hasbani then shoved for around 40,000, the hijack folded, and Akeh called.

Antoine Hasbani: AQ All in
Ashraf Akeh: AK

Hasbani was way behind, but would double up if he could find a ten on either the turn or the river. A Q on the turn meant a ten would only be enough for a chop, but another queen would see Hasbani scoop the pot. However, an 8 on the river mean Akeh locked up the pot, which sent Hasbani to the rail.
