Akenhead's chance of a bracelet disappeared when his A-K got crushed by 10-4. It's a cruel game.

As the results come in from the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, James Akenhead is a man on the move

Thanks to tremendous performances in Vegas this summer, James Akenhead moves straight into second place just behind Dave Ulliot.

The Hit Squad member came second in the first $1,500 no-limit event at the 2008 WSOP and less than a week later made it to heads-up in one of the $1,000 Bellaglio events.

Another well-known face on the UK poker scene, Peter Gould, came close to a bracelet as well. He finished third in a $1,000 no-limit event and cashed for almost $150K.

HOW WE WORK OUT THE RANKINGS

1. Finishing position where the buy-in was equal to or more than $1,000.

2. The number of entries, rounded down to the nearest ten (e.g. 204 entries counts as ‘up to 200’).

3. The buy-in.

The criteria are then multiplied together to give the points total. If a player makes the top ten in more than one event, we multiply their points total by 1.5, for three events by 2, for four events by 2.5, etc.
