November Nine in the Hizzy

Seated all the way in the back right corner, right next to 2008 November Nine member Chino Rheem and doing his best to look as inconspicuous as possible, is one member of the 2009 November Nine -- James Akenhead. Akenhead was the runner-up in a WSOP bracelet event in 2008, cashing for more than US$500,000. He had several small five-figure cashes thereafter before hitting the poker lottery at this year's WSOP by making the final table of the Main Event and guaranteeing himself at least US$1.2 million.

Based on a quick peek at his results, this looks like it could be Akenhead's first poker tournament in Asia. We'll be keeping a close eye on the lad to see how he goes.
