André Akkari fails to save ‘Cara de Sapato’ from a female triumph at BBB 23: A lesson for all to learn.

Poker

As soon as the BBB 23 participants were announced, the poker community found itself represented by MMA fighter Antônio “Cara de Sapato”. He is an assiduous practitioner of the sport of the mind, he has already won some tournaments in Miami, in addition to being a personal friend of André Akkari, Brazilian world champion of poker in 2011. The two have a close relationship, but that did not stop the player from deck in giving an opinion on the friend’s participation.

“Cara de Sapato” was expelled from the house next to MC Guimê during the live program last Thursday (16). The reason would be an alleged harassment of Daria Mendez, a Mexican participant invited to stay a few days in the most guarded house in Brazil. Akkari went to social networks and agreed with Globo’s attitude in expelling those involved, but made some reservations about the way the situation was handled.

“Globo did the right thing by eliminating them. It was right for the game, but mainly for society. Victory for women and may this serve as a lesson for many.”wrote the poker player who still left an important point of reflection. “If what happened is a mistake, a crime, they couldn’t wait for ‘live’ for that. They had to have cashed out soon, they would solve everything and then show the reasons”he concluded.

Before “Cara de Sapato” entered the BBB’s house, Akkari even said that his friend was a very fun person. During the fighter’s participation in the program, he even revealed an intimate surgery performed by the poker player due to the use of toilet paper. The fun story reverberated a lot on the social networks of people involved in the sport of the mind and it all became the basis of a great joke.
