Akery-raise with the Goods

[user46298]

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

Monster hand, monster flop, weird out of position hand for Peter Akery just now - he cold fourbet 13,800 out of a 50,000 stack from the big blind preflop, prompting a lengthy dwell from first raiser Andrew Li. Li passed, but Johan Verhagen (having made it 6,000) called.

The flop: {A-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {9-Spades} . Slow check. Slow bet of 7,200 from Verhagen; Akery called.

Turn: {9-Clubs} : Slow check again. Now Verhagen bet 12,200. Akery called (now with 16,000 behind).

River: {6-Diamonds} : Akery checked a third time but his hopes for further value for his {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} were dashed when Verhagen finally gave up, showing {4-} {4-} . Li muttered something about passing queens pre, and Akery nearly got the double up he was looking for.
