Vedes Moves On, Akenhead Gone

The 2009 November Nine finalist James Akenhead just lost his heads up match against two time World Poker Tour winner Tommy Vedes. Vedes also finished 19th in the 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event, the year Akenhead made it to the final table.

Vedes told us the biggest pot was played in the 800/1,600 level when he got it in with {A-}{9-} against Akenhead's {A-}{8-}. That 70,000 chip pot went to Vedes who took a commanding chip lead. Just now Vedes put Akenhead all in for his final 20,000 chips and the Brit called with {Q-Spades}{J-Spades}. Vedes had {A-Spades}{2-Spades} and his hand held up. Tommy Vedes is playing the third round against Melanie Weisner.
