Before poker he was a partner in a technology company. According to a 2011 profile in Rolling Stone Brasil, a foreign client asked the company for a project involving a poker website, and Akkari installed the software to prepare a quote. He told the magazine he had never played card or board games before, and he began taking poker seriously at 30, spending $50 on two poker books. <sup><a href=\"#source-3\">[3]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Beginning_in_poker\"><\/span>Beginning in poker<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He started with online tournaments and weekend amateur games.

He summed up the game as &#8220;simulating strength when you don&#8217;t have it and simulating weakness when you do&#8221;. In the 2011 bracelet final, PokerNews reported that he played &#8220;a little &#8216;old school&#8217; poker&#8221; heads-up, grinding his stack rather than moving all in repeatedly. <sup><a href=\"#source-3\">[3]<\/a><a href=\"#source-5\">[5]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Greatest_achievements\"><\/span>Greatest achievements<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_2011_WSOP_bracelet\"><\/span>The 2011 WSOP bracelet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Event #43 of the 2011 World Series of Poker, a $1,500 No-Limit Hold&#8217;em tournament, drew 2,857 entries and a prize pool of $3,856,950. <sup><a href=\"#source-6\">[6]<\/a><\/sup> The final was stopped at heads-up, and Akkari returned the next day against Nachman Berlin, who led 9.46 million to 3.4 million in chips.
