Fortunate River Brings Plante Back From the Brink
Level 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.
