Andre Akkari Doubles With Set Over Set

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Raffaele Sorrentino opened for 425,000 under the gun plus one. Andre Akkari, in the cutoff, shoved for 1.1 million, a 5 big blind stack.

From the small blind, Sebastian Sorensson reshoved for 6,135,000. Sorrentino asked for a count but did fold eventually.

Andre Akkari: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}
Sebastian Sorensson: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

While Sorrentino admitted he had ace-jack, the flop had the crown screaming as both players hit their sets: {K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}.

The {7-Clubs} on the turn was a blank and Akkari had just a single card to fade. He did just that with the {Q-Hearts} on the river and he more than doubled up.
