Tavelli Doubles through Akenhead

Maybe James Akenhead would have been better served to show up fifteen minutes late insted of just three minutes late. He opened a pot to 260,000, then called when Ian Tavelli reraised to 750,000. On a queen-high flop, {Q-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {7-Clubs}, Akenhead checked to Tavelli. Tavelli made it 1.5 million to go and then snap-called when Akenhead moved all in.

Akenhead: {K-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}
Tavelli: {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}

Akenhead found himself coolered less than fifteen minutes into the day. No help on the turn {6-Diamonds} or river {7-Hearts} for him. He had to pay off 4.305 million to Tavelli, leaving himself with just 2.8 million. Tavelli is up to about 10 million.
