Ace Slows Down Akenhead

James Akenhead opened the pot for 280,000 preflop and was called by small blind Warren Zackey. Both players checked to the river on a board that developed {J-Spades} {A-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {5-Clubs}. When Zackey checked a third time, Akenhead finally felt it was safe to throw out a bet of 300,000. Zackey called and was shown Akenhead's pocket kings, {K-Spades} {K-Hearts}, the second time Akenhead has shown down kings today. This time they were good for a small pot.
