Ken You Believe It?
It seems the deck is no longer stacked in Ken Lennard's favour. He just lost the biggest pot of the tournament to Eric Landy.
The flop was reading
and Landy bet out 17,000. Lennard reraised to 60,000 before Landy moved all in for a total of 214,500 and Lennard snap-called, flipping 
for the nuts. Landy showed 
for the second nut straight and needed an ace to chop. The turn was the 
and suddenly Landy had a straight-flush draw and when the innocent-looking came on the river, Landy had somehow won the pot.
A huge groan came from the rail and Lennard had to take a moment away from the table as he had just dropped to about 160,000 in chips while Landy was up to almost 450,000. -
