River Tanking

Level 6 : 250/500, 50 ante

Tom Alner and Bryn Kenney both have around 36,000 and both got there after their last hand played involved a bit of river tanking.

Alner and APPT Aussie Millions champion Manny Stavropoulos made it to the river where a board read {3-Spades}{6-Spades}{j-Clubs}{a-Spades}{q-Hearts}. Stavropoulos moved all in for 8,700 and Alner went into a painful looking tank. He eventually called with {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs} which was no good agains the Australian's {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}.

Kenney meanwhile bet 1,350, 2,150 and 3,650 on each street of a {9-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{2-Hearts} board and his opponent check-called to the river where he thought for several minutes. Eventually he folded and Kenney raked in the chips.
