Grant Hinkle has the button in seat 10. Again he raises to 350,000. Akenhead calls again.
The flop comes and (surprise) Akenhead checks. Hinkle makes a bet of 400,000. I feel like I'm stuck in a Moebius strip. This time, Akenhead mixes it up with a raise to 1,000,000. Hinkle quickly reraises all in. Could this finally be the hand?
