Akenhead a Little Less Sore

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
James Akenhead
James Akenhead

James Akenhead open-shoved in early position for roughly 7,000. "Now I don't get to squeeze," complained Roland de Wolfe in the big blind. He of course had the option of calling, but in the end he didn't - before the action got around to de Wolfe, Raul Mestre called on the button. Everyone else folded and they turned their cards over.

Akenhead: {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Mestre: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

Board: {9-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}

Akenhead flopped pretty much the whole world, made a Broadway straight on the turn, and held on the river. He doubled up to around 15,000 and looks as though he might make it to the dinner break now.
