Mike Ngo Doubles Up

James Akenhead has the button in seat 9. Mike Ngo moves all in from under the gun for 1,080,000. Action folds to James Akenhead who moves all in over the top. Everyone else gets out of the way and the players show:

Ngo: {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{10-Hearts}

Akenhead:

{K-Spades}

{K-Hearts}

It is Ngo's tournament life on the line as Akenhead has him covered. The crowd quickly comes alive as both players' legions of supporters call for "king!" or "ace!" depending on their respective camp. The flop finally comes down {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{6-Clubs}

{4-Spades}

and the crowd roars. Akenhead needs a king to eliminate Ngo. The turn is the {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

, a relative blank. The river is the {6-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

and again the crowd shows their respective emotions. Mike Ngo doubles through James Akenhead.
