Speculations at Table 5
PLO is a game in which there are many so-called "speculative" hands. And hands that inspire speculation.
Over at Table 5, James Akenhead is on the short side, chip-wise, as we begin Level 7. He was just now involved in a hand in which an opponent had raised from late position, he'd reraised from the big blind, and the opponent called, creating a pot of about 2,400.
The flop came 
, and Akenhead led with a bet of 1,300. His opponent considered for a half-minute of so. "Either you got aces or a set of queens," he finally concluded, tossing his 
-X-X face up toward the dealer.
Players at Akenhead's opponent's end of the table began discussing the hand, and it sounded as though they wouldn't have let that one go. Meanwhile, Vivek Rajkumar, Adam Junglen, and Akenhead appeared also to be commenting on the hand to one another.
In any event, Akenhead survives with a short stack of 4,800.
