Fortunate River Brings Plante Back From the Brink
Niveau 32
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Curtis Knight raised to 400,000 from early position before Andre Akkari three-bet to 1,100,000 in the hijack. Santiago Plante, on the button, then four-bet to 2,375,000, leaving 375,000 behind.
Knight folded K♥Q♣, but Akkari moved all in and Plante called off his last chips.
Santiago Plante: Q♠Q♥
Andre Akkari: A♥J♠
Akkari's raucous Brazilian rail began calling for an ace, but they didn't get their wish on the 3♠9♠9♥ flop. The turn, though, brought the A♠ and Akkari made two pair to leave Plante one card away from elimination.
The river came the 2♠ and Plante spiked a flush to earn the double up and knock Akkari back down to a short stack.
