Sevens Hold Up for Akenhead

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

James Akenhead opened to 2,300 from the cutoff and the big blind three-bet to 5,000. Akenhead called and the flop came {q-Spades}{8-Clubs}{4-Spades}. The big blind led out for 5,500 and Akenhead stuck around to see the {q-Hearts} on the turn.

Both players checked and the {5-Clubs} completed the board. The big blind checked again and Akenhead tapped the table as well. The big blind tabled {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for just ace-high while Akenhead showed {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} for two pair.
