Akenhead Doubles Up Speranza

The action folded around to Alessandro Speranza, who was seated on the button, and he moved all-in for 38,000. The small blind folded and James Akenhead was next to act in the big. He nonchalantly peeled over one card, and then the next, before his head moved upwards in that oh crap type of motion. He made the call but you could tell he didn't like it.

Speranza{A-Spades} {7-Spades}
Akenhead{K-Diamonds} {9-Hearts}

The flop was {K-Hearts} {J-Spades} {6-Clubs} and Akenhead took the lead. The turn {4-Hearts} kept him there, but the {A-Hearts} on the river drew noises of pain from the Akenhead rail.
