Kerzhapkin Comes Roaring Back

[user75032]

Yury Kerzhapkin had been on a long, gradual descent. But his stack has been re-energized after being doubled up by James Akenhead. We didn't see the preflop action, but on a {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

{2-Diamonds}

{8-Spades}

flop, Kerzhapkin managed to get all 23,150 of his chips in the middle, with Akenhead matching them. Kerzhapkin's {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

{2-Spades}

set of deuces were in a commanding lead over Akenhead's pocket jacks. There was no two-outer miracle for Akenhead; the board bricked out {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

and

{10-Hearts}

to give Kerzhapkin the double-up.

Counts after the hand:

Akenhead - 67,000
Kerzhapkin - 52,000
