Berlin Dodges Akkari's Outs

Nachman Berlin raised to 200,000 from the button and Andre Akkari announced a three-bet all in from the big blind. Berlin called for his tournament life and the cards were turned up:

Berlin: {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Akkari: {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

The flop brought Akkari a ton of outs, coming {10-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{J-Diamonds}, but kept Berlin in the lead. The turn brought {Q-Spades}, now giving Akkari any ace, king, or diamond as an out to win the pot. Unfortunately for Akkari, the river fell {10-Clubs} and Berlin was able to double up.
