Massive Cooler Sends Kenney Packing

He was quietly enjoying a massage, playing some poker and raking in chips. But that just abruptly ended after getting coolered in a massive Limit Hold'em hand against Chris McClung. Bryn Kenney was looking to be a contender, but his run just ended before the break.

We caught the action on the flop in a four way hand. The flop read {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and both blinds checked after which a player in middle position bet 1,200. Bryn Kenney was to his direct left in the hijack, and he raised to 2,400. Chris McClung was in the small blind and he put in three bets making it 3,600. The big blind folded and both the initial better and Kenney called.

The turn was the {A-Diamonds} and McClung bet 2,400, the player in the middle called. Kenney put out two big stacks of grey 100 chips making it 4,800 and both his opponents called.

The river was the {9-Spades} and it got checked to Kenney who fired out another 2,400 chip bet. McClung called right away after which the third player tanked for a while before also making the call.

"I got a full," Kenney said as he turned over his {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. He seemed confident but, that feeling quickly passed when McClung showed him {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}. The third player mucked right away and Kenney was left with just 225 chips.

On the very next hand he got his last chips in and both blinds stayed in. On a {6-Spades}{2-Spades}{9-Hearts} flop the small blind lead out and got it heads up. Kenney showed {3-Clubs}{7-Spades} and was in bad shape against {K-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}. The turn was the {K-Diamonds} ending Kenney's tournament run. The river was the meaningless {7-Diamonds} as Kenney paid for his massage and left the tournament area. McClung is now one of the big stacks in this event.
