Akenhead checks the highly coordinated 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 #149 - James Akenhead
Hand #148 - Grant Hinkle
The flop comes 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.
