A Couple for Nachman

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante

After giving Nachman Berlin a walk, Andre Akkari called a 260,000-chip Berlin raise from out of the big blind to see a {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop fall.

Both players checked as the {Q-Clubs} landed on the turn and Akkari checked to Berlin who fired a delayed continuation-bet of 150,000. Akkari quickly folded and Berlin snagged the pot.

How Many Clubs?

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante

Nachman Berlin limped and Andre Akkari checked to see a {2-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{A-Clubs} flop fall.

Both players checked as the {8-Clubs} landed on the turn and Akkari led for 125,000. Berlin called, and when the {J-Clubs} landed on the river, both players checked.

From the media tower, all we could see was that Berlin held the {A-Spades}, but with five clubs on the board, the pot was chopped up between the two.

Ace-High Win for Akkari

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante

Nachman Berlin limped the button and Andre Akkari checked to see a {K-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{Q-Hearts} flop fall.

Akkari tapped the table, and Berlin tossed in a bet of 175,000 as Akkari cut out a call before the dealer dropped the {5-Diamonds} on the turn.

Both players checked as the {4-Diamonds} landed on the river and again both players checked. Akkari flashed an ace, and Berlin mucked his hand.

Andre Akkari opened for his usual 250,000 from the button and Nachman Berlin passed.

When it was Berlin's turn on the button, he slid out a raise of 300,000. Akkari responded by moving all in, and although Berlin asked for a rough count, he decided to fold instead.

Limp and Shove Play for Berlin

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante

From the button, Nachman Berlin limped in only to have Andre Akkari bump it up to 370,000 from the big blind.

Berlin reached for two stacks of green 25,000-denomination chips and pushed them into the pot while announcing all in.

Akkari kicked his head to the side and pushed his cards at the muck.

Some Timid Play

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante

Nachman Berlin opened his first button to 300,000 and Andre Akkari quickly folded.

Akkari entered the pot for 250,000 and Berlin passed.

Berlin couldn't find a suitable hand on the button, and consequently gave Akkari a walk.

Akkari decided to return the favor and tossed his cards at the muck to give Berlin a walk.
