Gruissem Turn of Events for Kenney

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

Govert Metaal raised to raised to 5,100 from the button only to have both Bryn Kenney and Philipp Gruissem move all in from the blinds. Metaal folded and Kenney would be the one at risk.

Kenney: {A-Spades}{J-Hearts}
Gruissem: {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}

Both players had the same hand and more times than not it would be a chop. The flop brought only one diamond in the form of the {Q-Diamonds}, so Gruissem was freerolling to runner-runner diamonds. The {10-Diamonds} on the turn made things interesting, but it was the {9-Diamonds} on the river that made the long shot a reality. Kenney was eliminated while Gruissem chipped up to 170,000.
