Four Down the Drain

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
James Akenhead
James Akenhead

Down to a mere dust and fewer than two big blinds, Walid Abdi Ali shoved from the button with the {A-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and Serge Danis one seat over had the {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}. The board came {7-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades}{J-Clubs}{4-Spades} and that was it for the German.

One table over, Walter Treccarichi raised to 14,000 and James Akenhead moved all in from the cutoff. Treccarichi asked for a count and eventually called when the jam of the Brit was deemed to be for 72,500.

James Akenhead: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Walter Treccarichi: {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

The {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{Q-Spades} flop was a disaster for the Brit, and he needed running spades to avoid elimination. While the {6-Spades} on the turn was a start, the {9-Hearts} river failed to provide a miracle and Akenhead was eliminated in 57th place. Just prior to that, Vlado Sevo had bust and Zdenko Slavik followed to reduce the field to the last 55 hopefuls.
