Berlin Snags Back Some Chips

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Andre Akkari limped in from the button only to have Nachman Berlin make it 330,000 to go. Akkari made the call as the flop landed {2-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and Berlin checked.

Akkari checked behind, and when the {10-Clubs} landed on the turn, Berlin pushed out 320,000 before Akkari made it 1,000,000 to go.

With a wave of his hand, Berlin announced he was all in for an additional 5,245,000 - which had Akkari covered.

Akkari deliberated for a few moments before casually tossing his cards at the muck to see Berlin awarded the pot.
