Akenhead Gives Perry the Worst Sweat
Greg Perry opened in middle position with a raise to 22,000 before James Akenhead reraised, making it 65,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Perry who four-bet, making it 150,000, and Akenhead asked for a look at his stack before moving all in for more. Perry quickly called.
James Akenhead: 
Greg Perry: 
The flop came down 
which gave both players a pair but made it so Akenhead could be the only player to win the pot. The turn was the 
which now gave Akenhead a realistic chance of taking it down, but the river was the 
meaning both players would chop the pot.
"Why you gotta make me sweat like that?" Perry asked after the hand. "That was not fun."
Akenhead, as well as some of the other members of the table, let out some laughs before he offered Perry a fistbump, which was returned with a laugh.
