Staying Akenhead of the Game

Not losing his Akenhead
Not losing his Akenhead
Young, intense Brit James Akenhead is up to 182,000.

Akenhead and the gentleman on the big blind saw a {7-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} flop, and Akenhead called a 9,900 bet from his opponent.

Come the {A-Clubs} turn, the big blind checked, and then raised all in to a 22,500 bet from Akenhead. A call, a failure for the big blind to hit his flush, indeed a full house for Akenhead, and we lose the big blind.

Big Blind: {A-Hearts} {4-Hearts} for two pair and a flush draw
Akenhead: {A-Spades} {5-Diamonds} for a better two pair

River: {5-Clubs} to give Akenhead the full house.
