Akkari Wins; Crowd Goes Wild

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Jacob Naquin raised to 85,000 and Matthew Carmody got out of the way. Andre Akkari made it 210,000 and Naquin made the call.

The flop came {6-Spades}{2-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and Akkari tossed out 275,000. Naquin folded and Akkari scooped the pot while the crowd went absolutely insane. A series of chants were yelled that could be heard through the Amazon Room and beyond. Afterwards, the crowd did an ever classic wave, and continued to cheer for Andre Akkari.
