Akenhead Gets Maximum Value
2009 November Niner James Akenhead was oen of three players involved in a 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 kings were in the lead against his opponent's top pair, . The turn gave Akenhead two pair, and it was a good thing when his opponent paired his queen with the river to also make two pair. Kings and treys took down the pot and boosted Akenhead to 52,000.
