Holy Action!

John Kabbaj
John Kabbaj
Bryn Kenney started this monstrous pot with a raise to 28,000 from early position. Action came around to the big blind, and John Kabbaj reraised to 83,000. Kenney wasn't going anywhere. He made the third raise to 163,000 and Kabbaj came right back with a fourth raise to 323,000. Kenney then moved all in for more than 800,000! Kabbaj called, putting a pot of more than 1.2 million up for grabs!

Showdown
Kenney: {K-Clubs} {K-Spades}
Kabbaj: {A-Clubs} {A-Spades}

It was a disaster for Kenney, and the board would provide no help. It came {8-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {2-Spades} {5-Hearts}, dry like the desert wind. Kenney surrenders his chip lead, plummeting all the way back to 200,000. It works the other way for Kabbaj as he has skyrocketed to a commanding chip lead with 1,250,000, twice as much as his nearest rival!
