Grant Hinkle has the button in seat 10. He raises to 300,000 straight. Again, Akenhead pops him back for 600,000 more. This is almost becoming routine. Hinkle has finally had enough; he puts in a third raise to 1.2 million. Akenhead is counting down his stack, trying to determine how much he would have left behind if he calls. Which he does. A flop worth 2.4 million is coming.

{4-Hearts}
