Akenhead Flips Out

James Akenhead - Out
James Akenhead - Out
We don't mean to imply that James Akenhead lost his cool. We've never seen him lose his cool, even when taking horrible beats worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. We do mean to imply that he lost a race and is out of the tournament.

We're not sure what the series of preflop raises were, but Akenhead was the first player to move all in, for 66,400 total. His opponent, Martin Kabrhel, got an accurate count, cut a call off of his own stack to judge how much he'd have left if he lost, and then called.

Akenhead: {A-Clubs} {K-Spades}
Kabrhel: {J-Diamonds} {j-Spades}

Kabrhel nodded and the race was on.

Board: {4-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {4-Spades}

That board was no help for Akenhead's ace-king, allowing Kabrhel's jacks to hold. Kabrhel shook Akenhead's hand before Akenhead deparated the tournament room. He's out.
