Kenney Goes Boom

Level 5 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Bryn Kenney
Bryn Kenney

From under the gun, Bryn Kenney raised to 7,000. Phil Laak flat-called and then Masa Kagawa reraised to 29,000 from the cutoff seat. This was the second hand in a row at this table that Kagawa had three-bet after a player opened and another flatted. Action folded back around to Kenney, the original raiser. He four-bet to 67,000. That knocked Laak out of the way. Kagawa didn't go so easily. In fact, he ramped things up with an all-in bet, covering Kenney. Kenney doubled checked his hand quickly and made the call, tabling the {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}. Kagawa held the {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}.

The flop came down {K-Spades}{9-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and Kenney added a set to really take control of the hand. Kagawa needed runner-runner jacks or straight cards to win the hand.

The turn brought the {9-Hearts} and paired the board to give Kenney an unbeatable full house. The river completed the board with the {A-Clubs}.

Kenney was all in for 250,200 and now has over 510,000 in chips. Kagawa was left with 11,400.
