Akenhead Stragithened Out

Holding {J-?}{10-?} on a {9-Clubs}{7-Spades}{A-Hearts} flop, it checked around to the {8-Hearts} turn where James Akenhead flat-called a big over bet from a player two seats to his left. On the {A-Spades} river, the aggressor checked allowing Akenhead to make a value bet of 1,350, which was surprisingly check-raised to a total of 4,700. Although not happy about it, Akenhead made the call, but was swiftly showed {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for the rivered boat to see the Hit Squadder drop back down to his starting stack.
