Akkari Hits an Ace

Andre Akkari
Andre Akkari

Andre Akkari made it 6,500 from late position. Action folded around to the player in the big blind who moved all in. Akkari quickly made the call and the hands were turned up:

Akkari: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}
Opponent: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

Akkari struck gold when the flop came {5-Clubs}{A-Spades}{3-Hearts}. He kept the lead through the turn and river, as they fell {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}. Akkari is now almost up to 100,000 in chips, while his opponent was left crippled with around 10,000.
