Akenhead's Ace-High is No Good

...against ace-high.

A player in middle position raised, another player on the button called, and James Akenhead put in a third bet from the small blind. Both of his opponents called. The flop fell {8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, and Akenhead led out. Only the player on the button called.

The turn was the {7-Diamonds}, and Akenhead led again. His opponent called. Both players checked the {j-Spades} on the river, and Akenhead's opponent opened {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}. Akenhead laughed, flashed {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades} for a worse ace-high, and mucked his hand.
