Zackey On the Rise

Warren Zackey opened with an under-the-gun raise to 165,000. He was called only by James Akenhead, and the two men went off to the flop.

It came down {A-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {6-Hearts}, and Zackey continued out with a bet of 225,000. Akenhead paused for just a moment before making the call. The turn card brought the {8-Hearts}, pairing the board. Zackey kept the heat on with a bet of 400,000, and Akenhead again called, though he took an extra minute or so before sliding in his chips.

The river card was another repeater, the {8-Clubs}. Zackey paused to glance at Akenhead before announcing, "All in." Akenhead's cards were already in the muck, and Zackey adds to his stack. He's up to 3.6 million after that nice little pot.
