Steele Looks to End it Early

Michael Steele opened on the button to 6,000 and called when Patrick Kennedy three-bet to 25,000 from the big blind.

Kennedy continued with a pot-sized bet on the 9♣8♠5♦ flop before check-folding to a bet of 80,000 on the 3♠ turn to give Steele the lead.

A few hands later, Steele kicked off the action again, making it 8,000. Kennedy remained active and raised to 28,000. Steele responded with a four-bet to 100,000 and was called.

With 200,000 in the middle on the 10♦3♣3♠ flop, Steele fired out another 55,000 and was called. The American looked to end it on the 2♦ turn, jamming for Kennedy's last 350,000.

"This is so sick," agonized Kennedy as he used up one of his time banks. He peeked at his cards a few more times, before folding to concede the pot.
