WSOP Bracelet Winner Busts HPT Champ

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante
Courtney Kennedy
Courtney Kennedy

Courtney Kennedy, who won the 2016 World Series of Poker Ladies Event for $149,108, raised to 2,000 from the hijack and the player in the cutoff called. HPT East Chicago champ Jake Baumgartner came along from the big blind and the trio saw the flop come down {9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}.

Baumgartner was first to act and opted to move all in for 11,000 even and Kennedy called. The cutoff got out of the way and the hands were turned up.

Jake Baumgartner: {8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}
Courtney Kennedy: {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}

Baumgartner went with his open-ended straight draw, but little did he know his overs were drawing live as well. Unfortunatley for him, neither the {k-Hearts} turn nor {a-Hearts} river helped him and Kennedy scored the knockout.

Kennedy lost about 10,000 shortly after losing a flip with Big Slick against pocket nines.
