9. James Akenhead vs Grant Hinkle - Sick Poker Hands Series
Poker Web Watch 
/ Dave Allan / 09 January 2009 / 1 Comments
Heads-up in Event#2 of the 2008 World Series of Poker, young British pro, James Akenhead had been slowly eroding away Grant Hinkle's chip-lead and was almost level when a cruel hand was played out.
Hinkle raised to 350,000 with the lowly hand of Ten-four of diamonds. Akenhead re-raised to 1.2m with Big Slick. Hinkle, sick of being outplayed, shoves all-in and Akenhead calls.
The flop is an unbelievable Th 4h Ts, gifting Hinkle a boat and leaving Akenhead needing running Aces or Kings. His fate was sealed when the ten of clubs fell on the turn, giving Hinkle quad tens! Not only was there a coveted bracelet at stake, the difference between first and second place was over $300,000!
