By the Skin of His Teeth Before Doubling Again

Bryn Kenney has doubled-up to 88,000 after getting it in in bad shape on the bubble. Rudy Blondeau opened to 9,500 from the hijack and then snap-called when Kenney moved in from the SB. The play was paused as the camera's and media gathered round for this important show-down:

Blondeau: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Kenney:{a-Spades}{9-Spades}

The flop came {8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades} to offer more help to Kenney and things got even better for him on the {7-Spades} turn as he picked up a flush draw to go with the straight draw. Neither of those draws came in on the river but he did spike the {9-Hearts} to survive.

Moments later he doubled again to 200,000 through the big stacked Bojan Gledovic. Gledovic raised and then tank-called when Kenney moved in again. Kenney was the dominator this time with {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} to Gledovic's {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}. The board ran and uneventful {7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}.
