King James

[user101598]

James Akenhead is turning into a chip magnet.

He opened to 900 from middle position and a player behind him three-bet to 2,500. A short-stacked player moved all in for 8,125 and Akenhead went deep into the tank. He was eying the player who three-bet him.

"You want to play a big pot?" Akenhead asked him.

The player shrugged.

Akenhead thought for a bit longer and then double-fisted three stacks of 20 T500 chips into the middle and slammed an extra few on top making it 32,000 to go. His opponent folded, and he had the shorty at risk:

Showdown
Akenhead: {J-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {7-Hearts}
Shorty: {A-Hearts} {A-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {4-Hearts}

"I don't even want to see this," the short-stacked player muttered.

The flop was far from an eye soar though, it fell {A-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {5-Spades} giving him top set. Akenhead had backdoor draws though and the {6-Clubs} on the turn kept them alive.

The very second the {9-Diamonds} spiked on the river, Akenhead's opponent was on the other side of the rail. He forgot his phone though, and sheepishly returned to grab it.
