Akenhead and Boeree Build Stacks on the Bubble

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

In the last hand before hand-for-hand mode kicked in, James Akenhead and Matthew Ashton clashed in a bigger pot. The two British poker pros headed to a river on the board {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{10-Spades}{A-Clubs} and there were already 100,000 in the pot. Akenhead shoved and Ashton eventually folded after plenty of consideration.

Liv Boeree also managed to take down a sizable pot. Harry Lodge fired the {7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{7-Spades}{A-Hearts} river for 60,000 out of the small blind and then folded to the shove of Boeree. It was the first major hit to Lodge's stack all day, who dropped below Boeree in the counts.
