Akenhead Gets Phelps to Fold

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Not long after sending Craig Varnell to the rail, James Akenhead got involved in a pot with Michael Phelps. There was around 1,200 in the middle and the flop fell {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Spades}. Phelps checked from the cutoff and Akenhead fired 675 on the button. Phelps called and the {4-Diamonds} landed on the turn.

Phelps check-called another bet of 1,550 from Akenhead and the {a-Clubs} completed the board. Phelps quickly checked again and Akenhead slid in a bet of 3,200. Phelps dispatched his cards and Akenhead dragged in another pot.
