Double Barrel Victory for Berlin

Level 32 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

In a limped pot, Nachman Berlin led for 225,000 on the {7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} flop before Akkari made the call on the button to see the {J-Diamonds} land on the turn.

Both players checked as the {10-Spades} completed the board and Berlin pushed out 275,000. Akkari deliberated for just shy of a minute before folding his hand.

All for Seidel?

Erik Seidel in the stands

"Erik Seidel is railing you now!" stated Ari Engel.

"Epic rail. Epic rail!" stated another rail bird.

Erik Seidel has just wondered into the Thunder-Dome and taken a seat. We're not sure if he is watching the action, trying to get some alone time or here for some peace and quiet, but what we can say is that he won't be getting any peace and quiet as the Brazilian rail has just launched into a thunderous chanting and clapping session.

Seidel sat up from looking down at his iPad and sneaked a wry smile as he watched the Brazilians go crazy from the other side of the stadium.

Berlin Ships It

Level 33 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Andre Akkari opened to 400,000 from the button on the very first hand of the new level.

Nachman Berlin must have wanted the satisfaction of claiming the first pot - or the fact he had a decent hand or read on Akkari - and consequently pushed all in.

Akkari folded, and Berlin was pushed the pot.

Aces-Up for Berlin

Level 33 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Nachman Berlin limped and Andre Akkari checked to see a {Q-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop fall.

Akkari checked over to Berlin who fired out 250,000 to prompt a call from Akkari as the {A-Hearts} landed on the turn. Checking once again, Akkari would see a free river of the {7-Clubs} once Berlin checked as well, and when both players tapped the table, Akkari's {5-Hearts}{4-} was enough to claim the pot.

Some Chips Changing Hands

Level 33 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Andre Akkari bumped it up to 400,000 from the button and Nachman Berlin mucked his hand.

Berlin then opened his button with a raise - which appeared to be for 400,000 - to prompt Akkari to kick his cards to the muck.

Akkari limped and Berlin checked to see a {3-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{J-Spades} flop fall with Akkari leading out from the button for 200,000. Berlin shoved and Akkari swiftly folded.

Nachman Berlin limped the button and Andre Akkari checked his option to see a {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{A-Hearts} flop fall.

The action was checked round to see the {A-Spades} land on the turn, and once Akkari checked, Berlin bet out 200,000 to force a fold from the Brazilian.
