Akkari Holds on to Double Through Sydenstricker
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Andre Akkari moved all in for his last 440,000 from the hijack and Joao Sydenstricker called in the cutoff to put him at risk.
Andre Akkari: A?J?
Joao Sydenstricker: A?9?
Akkari flopped the nuts on Q?K?10?, making a Broadway straight. Sydenstricker, though, picked up a flush draw on the Q? turn as Akkari needed to hold on the river to survive.
The river came the 2? and Akkari flashed two thumbs up as he doubled up.
