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.
