Entin Doubles Through Akenhead

On a flop of {9-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{2-Spades}, Jonas Entin fired a bet of 4,000 which was called by James Akenhead before the {5-Hearts} hit the turn.

Entin fired again for 12,000 before Akenhead announced "pot". Entin responded by moving all in and Akenhead made the call.

Akenhead: {5-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Entin: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}{Q-Spades}{8-Clubs}

It was pair, straight draw and flush draw for Akenhead against Entin's top set of aces. The river fell the {J-Hearts} and Entin doubled to 131,000 with Akenhead down to 215,000.

Hellmuth Advancing

On a flop of {2-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds}, Phil Hellmuth led out with a bet of 7,000, and Antony Lellouche called in position.

The turn was the {J-Diamonds}, and Hellmuth fired again, 16,000 this time. Lellouche was right there with another call, and the {10-Clubs} filled out the board on the river. Hellmuth counted out 35,000 chips and stacked them in his staging area as he re-checked his cards. Satisfied by what he saw, he flung the betting chips into the pot. Lellouche couldn't call this time, mucking his hand to drop down to 82,000.

Hellmuth is up to 158,000 now.

Paino Maintains Form

Tony Paino
Tony Paino

Overnight chip leader Tony Paino is more than holding his own on the table of death. In fact, he's extended his chip lead to now sit with around 360,000 chips.

We caught Paino raking in some chips in a recent pot with Eli Elezra.

Elezra opened from under the gun to 4,200 with Paino making the call in position. They took a flop of {7-Hearts}{q-Spades}{3-Clubs} and Elezra checked to Paino who fired 10,000. Elezra thought for a long time before sighing, "Tom would never fold this..." as he flashed {A-}{Q-}.

Paino returned the favor and showed {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades} for top set! Paino is up to 360,000 with Elezra sitting at 96,000.

Kabbaj KOd

John Kabbaj was all in with his short stack on a {5-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} flop holding {A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {9-Hearts} for the overpair. James Akenhead had the chips to call him down, and he did so with the inferior {K-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {8-Clubs}.

Turn: {K-Clubs}

A disaster for Kabbaj as Akenhead grabbed trip kings to take a big lead. Kabbaj was now one card from elimination, and the {7-Spades} river was a blank to seal his fate.

Akenhead eliminates his fellow Brit, moving up to a very healthy 233,000 chips in the process.
