Oh My Akenhead

James Akenhead is eliminated by chip monster Jesper Hougaard. Akenhead raised preflop, called by Hougaard.

Flop: {7-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {3-Spades} Check to Hougaard who bet 10,000. Back to Akenhead who instantly moved all in for around 30,000 - and was just as instantly called. Shaking his head (that can never be a good sign) they turned their hands over:

Akenhead: {8-Hearts} {8-Clubs}
Hougaard: {A-Spades} {A-Hearts}

The {9-Hearts} {6-Clubs} turn and river didn't help and Akenhead exited stage right, yanking an iPod earphone out, having fallen into Hougaard's trap.
