Second Hit Squadder Straight Flushed
Level 8
: 400/800, 75 ante
This time it was James Akenhead's turn to lose to a mighty hand, after his hard-thought-out turn shove failed to dislodge a straight...
There was a 7,800 bet on a turn which started the fur flying. Akenhead sat very still for a long time looking at the 7,800 at him to call (he was in position) and finally announced, "All in."
He was greeted with a response he clearly wasn't thrilled with: his opponent shrug-wince-called instantly with his for the turned straight, paired board or no paired board. Akenhead could only show down which fell more dramatically behind on the river.
Akenhead, with under 3,000 remaining, was out soon afterwards.
