Akenhead Fighting Back

Level 4 : 200/400, 0 ante

James Akenhead raised from under the gun, and was called by a player in the big blind. The flop came down {6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}, and Akenhead's opponent check-called a bet. The turn was the {j-Diamonds}, and Akenhead's opponent checked again. Akenhead bet, his opponent check-raised, and Akenhead called.

The river was the {k-Hearts}, Akenhead's opponent led, and the Englishman called. Akenhead opened {k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for a pair of kings, his opponent mucked, and Akenhead is now at 6,800 in chips.
