Kenny's Aces Hold On to Double
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Jeffrey Kenny got his stack of 765,000 in the middle before the flop from under the gun as an opponent on the button put him at risk.
Jeffrey Kenny: A♣A♥ 
Opponent: Q♥Q♦
Kenny was far ahead with his aces and poised for a double up as the flop came 6♠10♦9♥. The J♦ turn gave his opponent some hope with a straight draw, but Kenny held on through the 5♥ river to double up.
"Yes. Always a sweat," he yelled out before taking in the pot.
Jose Aguilera, last year's 10th-place Main Event finisher, is also at this table.
