Hand #148 - Grant Hinkle

Grant Hinkle has the button in seat 10. Again he raises to 350,000. Akenhead calls again.

The flop comes {3-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {5-Spades} and (surprise) Akenhead checks. Hinkle makes a bet of 400,000. I feel like I'm stuck in a Moebius strip. This time, Akenhead mixes it up with a raise to 1,000,000. Hinkle quickly reraises all in. Could this finally be the hand?

No. Akenhead folds.

Hand #152 - Grant Hinkle

Grant Hinkle has the button in seat 10. He completes. James Akenhead checks his option in the big blind. We have a flop.

Akenhead checks the highly coordinated {Q-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} flop. Hinkle bets 200,000 and wins the pot.

The tournament director has instructed the gallery, who offered up some scattered applause on that hand, "Please be quiet. We have people trying to sleep."

Hand #153 - James Akenhead

James Akenhead has the button in seat 9 and he limps in to the pot. Grant Hinkle checks his big blind option. The flop comes {J-Spades} {10-Spades} {3-Diamonds} and both men check. The turn is the {5-Hearts} and Hinkle leads out for 200,000. Akenhead calls and the dealer puts the {8-Spades} down on the river. Hinkle checks and Akenhead bets 550,000. Hinkle folds and James Akenhead takes down another pot. This is the ninth consecutive pot in a row that James Akenhead has won when he held the button.

Hand #154 - Grant Hinkle

Grant Hinkle has the button in seat 10. He completes and James Akenhead checks. It's another limped flop that comes {10-Spades} {2-Spades} {J-Spades}. Grant bets 200,000 and again wins the pot. The Brits in the crowd are getting a little restless, trying to spur Londoner James Akenhead to the bracelet. Maybe we can get a case of Red Bull to the Milwaukee's Best Light All-In Lounge.
