Akenhead Tries to Bluff

Level 5 : 75/150, 0 ante

On a flop reading {2-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, James Akenhead bet 1,750 out from the small blind and one opponent in middle position called.

The turn brought a {6-Hearts} and Akenhead once again fired, this time for 1,950. His opponent called once more.

Akenhead couldn't pull the trigger when the {K-Hearts} fell on the river, instead checking to his opponent, who checked behind. Akenhead tabled {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} for air and his opponent flipped up {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} for just third pair, which was good enough to drag the pot.

Akenhead is down to 4,200.
