Ill-Timed Squeeze

James Akenhead
James Akenhead
With a raise of 800 and a flat call in front of him, James Akenhead increased the price of poker to 3,300. The initial raiser called, but the caller pushed all in for 10,350.

Both players called, perhaps somewhat reluctantly, before checking down a {5-Hearts}{K-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Clubs} board where the all in player took it down with {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}. The initial aggressor had {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}; Akenhead didn't show.

Also on this table:

Marco Traniello - 47,000
Max Pescatori - 43,000
Leonor Margets-Perez - 10,000
