Akkari Busts One Just Before Break
Team PokerStars Pro Andre Akkari won a nice pot just as players were on their way out for the first break.
We picked up the action on a 
flop and there were four players involved. Akkari checked, as did the next two players. The last player to act bet 600 and was called by Akkari. The next player to act folded, but the other popped it to 2,200. The bettor got out of the way, but Akkari appeared interested in sticking around. After about 60 seconds he re-raised to 14,000, which was most of his stack. His opponent tanked for a little while before calling all in for about 6,300 with 
.
Akkari tabled 
and looked to fade his opponent's ten outs. The 
turn and 
river accomplished just that, giving Akkari a nice boost heading into Level 3.
