Second Hit Squadder Straight Flushed

Level 8 : 400/800, 75 ante
James Akenhead: not ahead
James Akenhead: not ahead

This time it was James Akenhead's turn to lose to a mighty hand, after his hard-thought-out turn shove failed to dislodge a straight...

There was a 7,800 bet on a {10-Spades}{Q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} turn which started the fur flying. Akenhead sat very still for a long time looking at the 7,800 at him to call (he was in position) and finally announced, "All in."

He was greeted with a response he clearly wasn't thrilled with: his opponent shrug-wince-called instantly with his {K-Spades}{J-Spades} for the turned straight, paired board or no paired board. Akenhead could only show down {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} which fell more dramatically behind on the {9-Spades} river.

Akenhead, with under 3,000 remaining, was out soon afterwards.
