Hand #153 - James Akenhead

James Akenhead has the button in seat 9 and he limps in to the pot. Grant Hinkle checks his big blind option. The flop comes {J-Spades} {10-Spades} {3-Diamonds} and both men check. The turn is the {5-Hearts} and Hinkle leads out for 200,000. Akenhead calls and the dealer puts the {8-Spades} down on the river. Hinkle checks and Akenhead bets 550,000. Hinkle folds and James Akenhead takes down another pot. This is the ninth consecutive pot in a row that James Akenhead has won when he held the button.

Hand #152 - Grant Hinkle

Grant Hinkle has the button in seat 10. He completes. James Akenhead checks his option in the big blind. We have a flop.

Akenhead checks the highly coordinated {Q-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} flop. Hinkle bets 200,000 and wins the pot.

The tournament director has instructed the gallery, who offered up some scattered applause on that hand, "Please be quiet. We have people trying to sleep."

Hand #148 - Grant Hinkle

Grant Hinkle has the button in seat 10. Again he raises to 350,000. Akenhead calls again.

The flop comes {3-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {5-Spades} and (surprise) Akenhead checks. Hinkle makes a bet of 400,000. I feel like I'm stuck in a Moebius strip. This time, Akenhead mixes it up with a raise to 1,000,000. Hinkle quickly reraises all in. Could this finally be the hand?

No. Akenhead folds.

Hand #146 - James Akenhead

Grant Hinkle has the button in seat 10. He raises to 350,000. James Akenhead makes the call. Off to the flop we go.

{Q-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {7-Spades} is our flop. Akenhead checks. Hinkle wastes no time in making a continuation bet of 400,000. Akenhead calls.

The turn comes {10-Clubs}. Check, check. The river comes {Q-Hearts}. Akenhead now bets 500,000. This hand fits a familiar pattern and sure enough, Hinkle folds.
