Akkari Doubles

Dan O'Hair

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Andre Akkari was heads-up from the small blind against a lone opponent in middle position on a flop of 8♦J♠A♣.

Akkari bet 3,500 and his opponent raised enough to put Akkari all in for approximately 20,000. Akkari snap-called and a showdown was held.

Andre Akkari: A♦A♠ All in
Opponent: A♥Q♥

Akkari was in commanding shape with top set, and the 5♣6♥ runout changed nothing to award Akkari the double up.
