Akenhead Punishing His Table

James Akenhead
James Akenhead
James Akenhead has more than doubled his stack to 42,000 here in the early-going. He just took 11,200 off the unfortunate player to his right in blind-on-blind battle.

We caught the action with Akenhead facing a raise of 1,600 more chips from the small blind, with 1,200 already in the middle. Akenhead called to a flop of {10-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}. His opponent made a weak lead of 1,400 that Akenhead called.

The turn was the {3-Diamonds}. The small blind fired out another 3,200 and again Akenhead called. On the river {8-Diamonds}, Akenhead watched carefully as the small blind threw a single yellow (5,000) chip into the pot. He then quickly raised all in, for more than 20,000, and induced an immediate fold.
