Aching To Get Ahead - James Akenhead

James Akenhead has doubled up to become the first player over 3 million chips.

Eracles Panayiotou raised to 26,000 from the cutoff and Akenhead made it 80,000 from the small blind, Panayiotou called.

The flop was {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{7-Spades}

{3-Spades}

and Akenhead bet 130,000, Panayiotou called and they saw a {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

turn. Akenhead bet 190,000 and Panayiotou raised to 430,000.

Akenhead called this time before checking the {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

river. Panayioutou set the Brit all in for his remaining 800,000 or so and Akenhead immediately called with the nuts, {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{K-Clubs}

for top set. Panayiotou's bluff with {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

{4-Spades}

was caught completely cold.
