Kennedy Overtakes Steele
Level 26
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 0 ante
Despite almost losing half his stack, Patrick Kennedy has turned the tides in his duel with Michael Steele and dragged in another pot to create some distance between them.
Kennedy opened to 6,000 from the button and was called. Steele then led out for 16,000 on the 9♣8♥6♦ flop and was called before the A♦ turn checked through to the 10♠ river.
Steele check-called for 15,000 and mucked when Kennedy turned over his his Q♥J♣, which was good for a straight.
Kennedy and Steele have probably played the most hands so far today and are playing at a frenetic pace.
