Butcher Quarters Kennedy to Start the Day
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 0 ante
Action folded to Christopher Kennedy who raised before Bradley Butcher to his direct left came in for a three-bet. Action folded around to Kennedy who stuck in a call and the players were off to a 5♦A♦3♥ flop.
Kennedy check-called a bet from Butcher before watching as the 2♥ peeled off on the turn, prompting both players to check through to a river of the 10♦.
Action checked through again and Butcher turned up the A♠8♣5♣2♦, good enough to send only a quarter of the pot to Kennedy holding the A♣Q♣5♠2♣.
