Akenheads for the Exit

James Akenhead Eliminated
James Akenhead Eliminated
All in preflop, James Akenhead on the button has {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} and David Benefield has {9-Spades}{9-Spades} in the small blind. The board is {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}.

Akenhead has 16,000 after that hand.

Soon after, though, he's all in again versus the same guy.

This time, Akenhead has {A-Spades}{10-Hearts} and Benefield has {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}. The board runs out {3-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{4-Spades}{7-Hearts}{9-Spades} and Akenhead is eliminated. Benefield gets his chips back and then some, and has 80,000.
