Akkari Backs Down
The player in Seat 8 raised to 2,500 from middle position and action folded to Andre Akkari on the button. He put in a raise to 6,000 and both blinds got out of the way. Seat 8 asked for a count only to discover Akkari had him covered. Nonetheless, Seat 8 pushed all of his chips, a total of 37,500, into the pot. In order to call, Akkari would have to commit about half his chips. He thought better of it and tossed his cards in the muck, leaving himself with about 64,000.
