Akkari Folds Kings (He Claims)
We missed the precise pre flop action but Ari Engel filled us in afterwards. The player in seat one had opened and Andre Akkari had three bet from the button. Irishman Marc MacDonnel had cold four bet from the big blind and just Akkari had called.
The flop came 
and MacDonnel had fired a continuation bet, which was called by Akkari.
MacDonnel bet another 5,900 on the 
turn and Akkari once again called in position.
The 
fell on the river and MacDonnel pushed all in by placing a stack worth 19,000 in the middle. Akkari, with about 13,000 behind, tanked long and hard but folded in the end.
"Bad river" MacDonnel said to Akkari, implicating that card might had prevented him from getting it all. "Didn't change too much" Akkari replied, later admiting to have had 
. MacDonnel didn't spoil what he had and started stacking.
