Ha Doubles Through Kenney

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Thai Ha
Thai Ha

Ebony Kenney opened to 5,000 in early position and the action folded to the small blind who made the call, but then Thai Ha moved all in from the big blind for 31,500.

Kenney decided to make the call to put him at risk while the small blind got out of the way.

Thai Ha: A♦Q♦All in
Ebony Kenney: 8♠8♣

Ha would need to improve in this flip to stay alive, and luckily for him, a queen appeared right on the flop of 4♣Q♥6♠ to give him the lead. The runout of 3♠2♣ changed nothing and Ha was pushed the pot for the double.

McVicker Holds with Tens, Baruque Re-Enters

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Vladyslav Shovkovyi opened from the button to 5,500 and then received a shove from Karim Baruque in the small blind followed by a re-jam from Jesse McVicker in the big blind.

"You have ace-king?" Shovkovyi asked McVicker.

"I have 70,000," McVicker replied, which produced a fold from Shovkovyi.

Karim Baruque: K♥J♦All in
Jesse McVicker: 10♦10♠

Baruque would need to improve to stay alive in this flip, but the runout of 6♠4♥8♠5♦9♦ could not do it and he was sent to the rail.

"Sh*t! I have set!" Shovkovyi sighed as the pot was shipped over to McVicker, who thanked him for folding.

Not to be deterred, Baruque immediately re-entered and was reseated at a neighboring table.

Bertoncini Scoops with Queens; Dennis and Payne Exit

Level 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

After a preflop betting bonanza, all the chips between Cicely Payne, Andrew Dennis, and Alex Bertoncinci got their chips into the middle, with Payne covering.

Andrew Dennis: 8♥8♣All in
Alex Bertoncinci: Q♣Q♦All in
Cicely Payne: 7♠8♠

Bertoncini was in a great spot to nearly triple up, and the runout of A♦4♥5♥9♦3♥ was clean for his queens to scoop the pot, eliminating Dennis in the process.

Left short, Payne exited shortly after.

Harb's Queens Bust Benglis

Level 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

After a preflop betting war, Brennan Benglis moved all in and was quickly called by Adeeb Harb to put him at risk...

Brennan Benglis: [ 8s8d]All in
Adeeb Harb: Q♠Q♦

Benglis would need a lot of help to stay alive, but the flop of Q♥7♦A♦ was not ideal as Harb made a set of queens. The turn 5♦ sealed Benglis' fate and he was sent to the rail once the 5♣ hit the river.
