Kennedy Picks Up Aces to Down Masato
Level 17
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 0 ante
Patrick Kennedy opened to 6,000 from the button before Masato Yokosawa three-bet to 26,000. Kennedy quickly popped it to 50,000 and Yokosawa called.
Yokosawa check-called for 25,000 on the Q♠7♠6♥ flop, leaving him with around 118,000.
On the 5♥ turn, Yokosawa checked and Kennedy jammed as the bigger stack.
Yokosawa insinuated that this was a hand he wouldn't be able to get away from.
He wiped the sweat off of his brow as he used up two time banks before calling.
Masato Yokosawa: 8♦8♣ 
Patrick Kennedy: A♠A♦
"Good luck," said Kennedy but his well wishes provided no help to Yokosawa who exited after the 2♠ river.
The pair exchanged a handshake and showed good sportsmanship after the match-up concluded.
