Yee-Haw

Kenna James playing on Day 2
Kenna James playing on Day 2
Cowboy Kenna James has just survived a pre-flop all in confrontation against Peter Mobbs and doubled through to 70,000 in chips.

Kenna opened with an 18,000 pre-flop raise from early position and when the action got around to Mobbs in the cutoff he re-raised, kicking it up to 45,000.

"I don't blame ya . . . I don't blame ya," said James before sliding a tall stack of purple chips - his last - into the middle. Mobbs made the call and tabled {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}; James was well ahead with {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}.

As the board filled out {K-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, Kenna called for the {A-Clubs} to fall on the river and amazingly, it came!

Mobbs was left with approximately 270,000 in chips after the hand.
