James Akenhead Eliminated in 9th Place (£66,533)

Akenhead With Prior Chip Lake, Now Dry
Akenhead With Prior Chip Lake, Now Dry
After so long with the all in moves both relatively frequent and uncalled, a big pot just started brewing with a Chris Bjorin preflop raise to 85k, got hotter with James Akenhead's moving all in for under 500k, and came to the boil as Daniel Negreanu reshoved over the top. Bjorin got out of the way (showing his mucked {A-?} {J-?} ) and the two of them were on their backs:

Akenhead: {A-Spades} {Q-Hearts}
Negreanu: {K-Hearts} {K-Spades}

Akenhead could only watch as the board ran out an aceless {J-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {4-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} sending him first to the rail out of the final table, having not really had a chance to show his stuff to his full ability today. He may be a little disappointed, but as one of the November Nine he gets to experience all the drama of a WSOP Main Final again in Vegas next month.
