Hamby Becoming a Problem For Akenhead

We were counting chips at Table 374 when a pot broke out in front of us. It was heads up between James Akenhead and Jared Hamby, and there was a flop of {7-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {J-Spades} on board. Akenhead check-called a bet of about 10,000 there, and that brought them to the {10-Diamonds} turn. Akenhead checked again, and Hamby fired out about 20,000. Akenhead moved all in, and Hamby sighed heavily and called all in for about 55,000 total to put himself at risk.

Akenhead sheepishly turned up his {A-Hearts} {9-Spades}, still on the draw. Hamby made a good play with {K-Clubs} {J-Hearts}, and he was rewarded with a blank {3-Clubs} on the river. That secures his double up all the way to 145,000, and Akenhead has fallen close to that with about 158,000.
