When we got to the table, the turn was out and Elie Akl had fired 12K into a pot of almost 20K. Karyn Gemmill raised him to 24K, and Akl, after consideration, went all-in for 53K. Gemmill reluctantly called, after counting her pot odds.
Elie Akl: 
Karen Gemmill: 
Board: 
The turn hit them both, but Akl’s kicker allowed him to boost his stack nicely.
