Ace-High Good for Akenhead
Level 6
: 300/600, 75 ante
Satnam Sandhu was first to act from his seat in the hijack position. He peeked at his cards before raising to 1,300. The player in the cutoff folded before James Akenhead three-bet to 3,100 from the button. Both blinds mucked, but Sandhu called.
After burning a card the dealer placed the 
flop onto the felt. Sandhu check-called a 3,300 bet from Akenhead. The 
flop received similar action; Sandhu check-called a more substantial bet of 6,600 from the former November Nine member Akenhead.
The river brought the 
into play and Sandhu checked for a third time. Akenhead saw no value in betting and he tapped the table and checked behind.
Akenhead: 
Sandhu: *muck*
Ace-high was good for Akenhead.

Grinding With The Grinder
Level 6
: 300/600, 75 ante
Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi has been constantly climbing up the chip counts today and we decided to hang around him for a few hands to see how Mizrachi has been doing it.
Hand 1: Ben Martin opened from the small blind to 1,100 and Mizrachi called in the big blind. Martin then check-folded to a 1,300 bet from Mizrachi on a 
flop.
Hand 2: Martin opened to 1,100 from the button, but quickly folded when Mizrachi three-bet to 2,500 from the small blind.
Hand 3: Mizrachi had the button and saw the action fold around to him. He raised to 1,325. Paul Jenkinson three-bet to 3,200 from the small blind and Mizrachi tossed in the extra chips to call.
The 
flop witnessed a continuation bet of 3,200 from Jenkinson and a call from "The Grinder." Jenkinson then checked the 
turn and folded when Mizrachi bet 5,200.
Hand 4: Mizrachi opened to 1,325 from the cutoff when the action passed around to him. Patrick Sacrispeyre defended his big blind by calling. Sacrispeyre then check-called a 1,300 bet from Mizrachi. The dealer put the into play on the turn and Sacrispeyre checked again, but when Mizrachi bet 3,900 Sacrispeyre check-raised to 8,000. Mizrachi dwelled on his decision for 30 seconds before flicking his cards back to the dealer. Sacrispeyre showed Mizrachi, and the rest of the table, the 
.
Hand 5: Martin opened to 1,300 and Mizrachi called from the next seat over. Sacrispeyre called in the small blind and it was three-handed to the 
flop. It was checked over to Martin who bet 3,100. Both of Martin's opponents called. Theat was the last of the betting action as the trio checked the turn and 
river, Martin winning when he showed the 
.
Mizrachi now has 149,000 chips.
Eastgate Undeterred
Level 6
: 300/600, 75 ante
The last time I was at Peter Eastgate’s table there was a guy who was accumulating chips at a steady rate while playing a furious game of Temple Run 2 on his ipad, but now he seemed to have had a change of heart. He was fully engrossed in Fruit Ninja.
Eastgate opened from early position for 1,500 and got one caller when it reached Mr Fruit Ninja who raised to 5,500. It was enough to take the pot down.
Undeterred, Eastgate again opened the next hand for 1,200. The cut-off and the blinds called and we saw a flop of 
Eastgate continued for 1,600. The cut-off called and the blinds folded.
The came on the turn and the action went check / check.
When the 
completed the board Eastgate bet 5,100 and his opponent obviously faced a tricky decision.
Having mulled it over he elected to call and mucked when Eastgate showed him his 
Bringing a Holt to Proceedings
Level 6
: 300/600, 75 ante
With a huge amount of chips already in the middle, Kim Mortensen was already all in while Gareth Holt and Troy Rutherford were playing a side pot.
The board read 
and Holt bet 25,000 before Rutherford moved in for what looked to be around 60,000. Holt shrugged and called and the three turned over their hands.
Mortensen: 
Holt: 
Rutherford: 
Mortensen had six outs for a triple up while Rutherford needed the Qh to scoop the lot. Predictably though, neither hit as the 
came out and Holt took the lot giving him over 200,000 in chips.

Akenhead Royally Pleased
Level 6
: 300/600, 75 ante
With around 10,000 in the middle, Kevin Iacofano checked across to James Akenhead - the board reading 
. Akenhead bet 4,000 and Iacofano thought briefly before flicking in a call.
Akenhead let out a little knowing smile, "I've got this," before turning over for a royal flush. Iacofano nodded, rechecking his own cards before sending them sailing into the muck.

Ilan Boujenah Registers Late
Level 6
: 300/600, 75 ante
Pint-sized dynamo Illan Boujenah has registered late for the ISPT Main Event in an attempt to grab himself some last minute value before heading to the World Series of Poker.
Boujenah plays a loose-aggressive style, which mirrors his demeanour at the table! The Israeli has over $1,200,000 in live tournament winnings, including a €300,000 score when he finished third in the 2011 Partouche Poker Tour; the one that Sam Trickett won.

Louis Folds the Best Hand?
Level 6
: 300/600, 75 ante
We have a sneaky feeling that heads-up sit and go tournament specialist Leon Louis may have just folded the best hand.
Joining the hand on the 
flop, Timothy Chung checked from middle position and then called when Louis bet 3,200 in the hijack seat. The 
saw Chung check-call again, this time a 6,200 bet from Louis. The completed the board and hung tapped the table and checked again. Louis bet 16,900 and the pot really became meaningful in size. It became more so when Chung check-raised to 50,000.
Louis went into the tank for over three minutes before mucking his hand. Chung smiled and showed just 
and Louis looked deflated.
