James Akenhead Eliminated

With the board reading {Q-Clubs}{K-Spades}{K-Clubs}{10-Spades}, James Akenhead was facing a bet for his tournament life. After convincing himself that he was ahead, Akenhead called with {A-Spades}{10-Clubs}, and was correct in his judgment, his opponent meekly revealing {A-Clubs}{3-Clubs}.

However, the poker gods work in mysterious ways and duly delivered a {5-Clubs} on the river to send Akenhead packing.

"Akenhead was not happy," observed our onlooking field reporter.
