James AkenheadFull Tilt Poker pro James Akenhead will make his third final table appearance in three months at the Full Tilt Poker Million.

Akenhead qualified for the final table when he took down the semi-final on Oct. 9. His opponents are Full Tilt Poker’s Dag Martin Mikkelsen, Cardrunners’ co-founder Taylor Caby, and Peter Vasiliou, a travel consultant from London who qualified via the site.

One spot remains and the seat can be won in the Poker Million Last Chance promotion at FullTiltPokercom. The winner of this promotion will go directly through to the final table.

Talking about making another final table, Akenhead said, “I’ve watched previous Poker Million’s on television, so to get to the final table in my first appearance is something I’m proud of. It’s the biggest tournament of this structure I’ve ever played in.”

The final will be broadcasted on SKY Sports in December.

A quick look back at the other two final tables the young British trailblazer has made in the past three months shows him taking ninth place at the World Series of Poker Europe main event in London for $105,070, and also qualifying for the final table of the World Series of Poker main event on the other side of the world, in Vegas, in which his final result is yet to be decided.
