Aken to Get Ahead

James Akenhead

James Akenhead, who finished second in event two, is now down to the felt with nothing but loose change.

As I joined the action, Akenhead was all in on a {6-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} board for 6,900 in chips. With another 3,000 waiting patiently in the pot, his unknown opponent set up camp in the think tank before finally making the call.

Stoic and statuesque throughout, Akenhead's shoulders slumped as he realized he needed some help, his {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} in trouble against a superior {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}.

However, it didn't emerge, the raggy {3-Diamonds} river missing all his outs and providing his opponent with a timely double through.
