Clubbed to Death

James Akenhead
James Akenhead

James Akenhead made a standard open from early position, the hijack reraised to 7,000 and the big blind pushed all in. "All in," announced Akenhead sliding his chips across the line.

Despite being encouraged to "gamble", the hijack folded and we reached a showdown, a split pot imminent between {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}{10-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts}.

"Sevens," requested Akenhead's foe with a wishful smile. "Clubs," countered Akenhead.

In the end, it was the November Niner's demands who were met, the board coming {4-Spades}{2-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{3-Spades} to deliver him both the flush and the pot.

After a roller coaster of a last level or two, Akenhead is now back up above the 50,000 mark.
