Jurgens Gets There with Big Slick

James Akenhead did his best to knock out Tad Jurgens. Akenhead opened pre-flop for 24,000, then called Jurgen's shove of 103,000. At showdown, Akenhead's {9-Clubs}{9-Spades} was the slightest of favorites against Jurgens' {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}, but an ace on the {j-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds} flop vaulted Jurgens into the lead. He retained it through the {3-Hearts} turn and {q-Spades} river to double up to about 220,000. Akenhead has roughly the same amount now.
