ABOUT Andre Akkari
Almost two decades after discovering the game, poker professional André Akkari is an all-time great of the Brazilian game and a longstanding member of PokerStars Team Pro. Born in Sao Paulo, André previously worked for a software company, specializing in creating Flash animation for a number of corporate websites. André was asked to write an e-commerce proposal for a poker website and decided to download the software for research. Before long, he was playing at one of the play money tables. Realizing he’d found his new hobby, André purchased a poker book and set about learning the game properly. He began playing for real money at PokerStars, and slowly but surely started to turn a profit.
