Top Pair's Good for Akenhead

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

James Akenhead

Main Event finalist, James Akenhead just added some more chips to his stack.

He defended {q-Spades}{9-Spades} in the big blind versus an open and one call.

The {q-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop gave him top pair and he check-called a bet from the initial raiser. The turn brought a {6-Clubs} and Akenhead check-called once more. The river was a brick and, after a third check from Akenhead, his opponent didn't fire for a third time and mucked on seeing the pair of queens.
