Ivey Plays Kenney Like a Fiddle
Level 10
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Talal Shakerchi raised it up in early position and was called by Bryn Kenney in the cutoff and Phil Ivey in the big blind. The flop came 7♥4♣4♦ and the action checked around to the 3♦ on the turn.
The action checked to Kenney again who flicked in a bet of 135,000. Ivey check-raised to 350,000 and Shakerchi folded but Kenney still called. The river was the 3♥ and Ivey checked again. Kenney threw in a bet of 425,000 and Ivey looked him up.
Kenney showed Q♦J♦ for a missed flush draw while Ivey held A♥5♠ for just ace-high to win the pot.
