Akenhead Swings the Hammer
and 900 chips already in the middle of the table. Akenhead was playing from the big blind and checked to his lone opponent, the under-the-gun player, who bet 600. Akenhead called.The turn fell
and again Akenhead checked. This time his opponent bet 1,500, a bet that Akenhead check-raised to 3,500. On a non-threatening board, this check-raise reeked of strength but his opponent wanted to see one more card and called.The river fell
. Akenhead made a value bet of 2,000, then showed down the Hammer, 
, for two pair, sevens and deuces. His opponent disgustedly flipped 
into the muck.Akenhead is up to 30,500 in chips.
