James Akenhead eliminated

James Akenhead--who finished as runner-up in Event #2 on Tuesday night after his ace-king was brutalized by the {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

of Grant Hinkle--is still alive. He pushed all in for 2,125 holding {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{Q-Clubs}

and was called by the big blind, who tabled {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{10-Clubs}

. A ten-high flop spelled doom for Akenhead, but after the {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

hit the turn, the river {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

saved him.

Akenhead now has about 4,300 chips.
