Puntas Puts Akremi in the Blender
Chadi Akremi limped in from the hijack and Antonio Puntas raised to 110,000 from the button. Akremi three-bet to 325,000 and Puntas made the call.
The flop came 7?4?2? and Akremi fired a 275,000 continuation bet that was called by Puntas.
Both players checked the 6? turn leading to the 3? river. Akremi checked and Puntas bet 500,000, sending Akremi deep into the tank.
"You have three hands" Akremi commented as he weighed his options, cutting out calling chips to see how much he would have should he call and be wrong.
"There's a lot of chips in there..." Akremi continued, clearly put on a difficult decision. "Might have kings or queens".
Finally Akremi stuck in the call, leaving only 205,000 behind. Puntas showed Q?Q? and scooped in a gargantuan pot after Akremi's hand hit the muck.
