Naomi Pazol raised to 1,000 from the button and Kennedy defender her big blind.
The flop came 
, Kennedy check-called the 1,500 continuation-bet of Pazol.
They both checked through the 
on the turn to the 
on the river. Kennedy now took over the initiative and led out for 2,500.
"I wanted to be in the live reporting with a good end to this hand!" Pazol exclaimed. She counted out her stack and was in doubt about what to do. "If I fold, will you show?" she asked Kennedy.
"For the story, yes, I will," Kennedy replied.
Pazol folded 
and Kennedy showed she held 
for the turned two pair.
They all chatted a bit more about the hand and the whole table laughed along the whole time.
