Akenhead Falls Out With the Ladies

Down to 2,500 at one point, James Akenhead managed to climb his way up to 8,000, before seeing all his good work go to waste in one fell swoop. Raising it up from the button with pocket queens, Akenhead was smooth-called in the big blind and subsequently saw an A-6-7 flop. The big blind led and Akenhead called. On the queen turn, it was James who fired a bullet, and one which his opponent duly called. On the eight river, however, the big blind pushed all in for around 6,000, and Akenhead made the call. His opponent tabled T-9 for the rivered straight.
