Akenhead Cut in Half

A hand between James Akenhead and Steven Begleiter started off typically enough. Action folded to Akenhead in the small blind and he put in a standard raise. Begleiter called to a flop of {9-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}.

With an ESPN camera crew materializing on cue, there was plenty of action to record. Akenhead checked to Begleiter, who bet 85,000 before Akenhead check-raised to 190,000. Begleiter was undeterred as he put in a three-bet to 380,000. Akenhead took his time considering that bet before electing to call.

The turn was a seeming blank, the {3-Spades}. Akenhead, sipping coffee from a tall disposable cup, checked. Beglieter made a huge bet of 850,000. Akenhead continued sipping his coffee, then cut out the 850,000 chips from his stack. He didn't immediately put them in the middle. A second camera crew came to the table before Akenhead silently slid the chips forward.

The river fell {7-Spades}. Akenhead checked.

"Two pair," said Begleiter as he checked behind. He showed down {9-Diamonds} {7-Clubs}, having rivered his second pair. Akenhead's eyes bugged out before he tilted his head back and stared at the ceiling in frustration. He mucked his hand and fell to 1.13 million. Begleiter is now up to about 3.8 million.
