A Big Double for Akenhead

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
James Akenhead
James Akenhead

In one of the last hands of the night, James Akenhead scored a big double up through Michel Abecassis. Akenhead opened to 5,100 from the cutoff and Abecassis made it 15,400 to go in the big blind, the Brit just called.

On the {Q-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop, Abecassis continued for 12,200 and received the call before the {8-Spades} on the turn saw the Frenchman check. Akenhead shoved for his last 51,600 and Abecassis called before quickly seeing the bad news.

James Akenhead: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}
Michel Abecassis: {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}

The {4-Spades} river changed nothing anymore and Abecassis lost a big portion of his stack.
