Akenhead Gets Maximum Value

2009 November Niner James Akenhead was oen of three players involved in a {3-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{j-Spades} flop. He was first to act and checked. The second player also checked, leading the third player to bet 2,825. Akenhead spent some time in the think tank before check-raising to 10,000 straight. That was enough to chase out the player in between. The original bettor quickly moved all in and Akenhead called. His {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades} kings were in the lead against his opponent's top pair, {j-Clubs}{q-Spades}. The turn {3-Hearts} gave Akenhead two pair, and it was a good thing when his opponent paired his queen with the {q-Hearts} river to also make two pair. Kings and treys took down the pot and boosted Akenhead to 52,000.
