Kennedy Rivers a Straight to Double Up

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Maria Ho raised to 3,000 from early position. She was called by a player in middle position and Darren Kennedy out of the big blind.

The three players checked the 979 flop to see the 6 come on the turn. Kennedy led out for 3,500 and Ho called. The middle position player then raised to 9,000 which only got called by Kennedy.

Kennedy checked the 5 river and his opponent bet 40,000, which was enough to put Kennedy all-in. Kennedy agonized over the decision for roughly a minute but eventually put in the call.

His opponent showed 76 for two pair, nines and sevens. Kennedy flipped over 87 for a straight to win the pot.

Pantaleo Eliminated by Mankin

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Giuseppe Pantaleo
Giuseppe Pantaleo

Erle Mankin was one of more than 200 late entrants on Day 2abc and he just turned some small profit after sending Giuseppe Pantaleo to the rail. The latter had jammed for 9,500 and the hijack clicked it back to 16,500. Mankin then pushed all-in for 49,000 to force out everyone else.

Giuseppe Pantaleo: QJ All in
Erle Mankin: QQ

The board ran out 95394 and Pantaleo was felted. He jokingly made a fuss about it in jest and then joked "it will sound to them as if it was a 200k pot". Mankin replied "it was to us" as he had been nursing a shorter stack thus far.
