Akenhead Ahead of the Pack

We caught up with the action on a board reading {8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}. James Akenhead checked from early position and a player in middle position fired 3,200. Yevgeniy Timonshenko folded on the button and Akenhead called.

The river came the {10-Spades} and Akenhead led out for 6,200, which his opponent called. Akenhead showed {5-Spades}{7-Spades} for trip fives and his opponent folded.
