Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Peter Mugar raised to 105,000 in the cutoff and Abdullah Akbarpoor three-bet to 350,000 on the button. Michael Berk stuck in a four-bet to 730,000 in the small blind which got Mugar to lay his hand down. Akbarpoor instantly moved all in for 2,040,000 and Berk snapped him off.

Abdullah Akbarpoor: A♦Q♦ All in
Michael Berk: Q♠Q♥

Berk had a firm grip on the hand but it slipped away on the flop of A♠9♠6♦. The 4♣ and 5♠ runout left Akbarpoor celebrating after scoring a huge double up through the chip leader.
