Akenhead Survives Thrice

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

James Akenhead just had his tournament life on the line three times in just a few hands. But a stack which was once down to 375, is now up to a healthy 5,000.

The first time Akenhead found himself all-in preflop, it was for only a few blinds and he had to watch on as Eric Assadourian and two opponents battled out the hand. Akenhead holding {q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and turning a {q-Diamonds}, it would be enough to take down his share of the pot and increase his stack to 1,725.

The next hand Akenhead moved allin and picked up the blinds and antes.

"One double-up and you're back in it!", exclaimed Assadourian.

As if taking heed from these words, Akenhead was allin just a couple of hands later, picking up {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades} and doubling up through an opponent holding {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}.

As they say, all you need is 375 and a chair!
