Akkari Survives on the River
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Andre Akkari raised to 35,000 from early position and left just a single chip worth 1,000 in his stack. Lander Lijo then shoved from the hijack and the rest of the table folded, then Akkari called off his remaining chip.
Andre Akkari: A♦7♦
Lander Lijo: K♥10♠
Lijo made a pair on the 10♥2♥3♠ flop and improved to a flush draw on the J♥ turn. Only an offsuit ace could save Akkari and that's what he found as the A♣ fell on the river.
