Cool, Ivey almost busto. Most likely scenario is 9 randos at the FT, and that's a good thing. The last thing poker needs right now is for a top pro to win the ME. We need another Moneymaker cinderella story, the pros make enough money the rest of the year. I'm rooting for the biggest joe average donk left, whoever that may be.
How about a guy named Akenhead? Maybe then Bayer aspirin would become a big sponsor.
Adam and Dan Bilzerian are currently sitting at the same table, which means the floor is supposed to be notified if you're seated at the same table as an immediate family member.
Their table is just about to break anyway however.
New Chip Leader. Akenhead Breaches 3 Million Mark.
James Akenhead has doubled up to become the first player over 3 million chips.
Eracles Panayiotou raised to 26,000 from the cutoff and Akenhead made it 80,000 from the small blind, Panayiotou called.
The flop was {Q-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {3-Spades} and Akenhead bet 130,000, Panayiotou called and they saw a {8-Clubs} turn. Akenhead bet 190,000 and Panayiotou raised to 430,000.
Akenhead called this time before checking the {K-Clubs} river. Panayioutou set the Brit all in for his remaining 800,000 or so and Akenhead immediately called with the nuts, {K-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} for top set. Panayiotou's bluff with {6-Clubs} {4-Spades} was caught completely cold
