Dinner Time!

With the crowd still chattering away about the miraculous double-up of James Akenhead, we are off to dinner. See you in 90 minutes.

He looked a lot happier than this when he saw that flop

Jamie Robbins raised to 530,000, James Akenhead moved all in for 2,390,000 and Robbins made the call.

Akenhead {K-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}
Robbins {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds}

Boom! The flop came down {K-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} {J-Spades}, the room going absolutely bezerk as Akenhead flopped two pair. The turn was the {7-Clubs}, the river was the {5-Diamonds} and Akenhead's cheering section exploded, high-fiving their man as he earned a much-needed double-up to 5.09 million.

With that, we're on a ninety-minute dinner break.
