Kenney Donates to Boivin

Connor Richards

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Bryn Kenney completed in the small blind and Thomas Boivin checked his option in the big blind.

Kenney bet 25,000 on the flop of 6♥J♣7♥ and Boivin called. Kenney sized up to 65,000 on the Q♣ turn and Boivin again called.

Kenney checked on the K♥ river and Boivin checked back. Kenney showed A♣9♣ for ace-high, which was no good against the pair of jacks of Boivin with Jx10x.

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Thomas Boivin raised to 50,000 under the gun and Bryn Kenney three-bet jammed in the big blind for just over 1,000,000. Boivin snap called.

Bryn Kenney: A♠K♠ All in
Thomas Boivin: A♣K♣

The window card was the 9♠, followed by the 4♣ and 2♣ to bring out the flop.

Boivin had a huge freeroll with his flush draw but the board ran out J♦, 3♠, resulting in a chop.

A wave of relief came across Kenney's face as he pulled his stack back towards himself.

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

In a heads-up pot on a board of Q♦2♣5♣, Cary Katz checked and Thomas Boivin bet 30,000. Katz check-raised to 60,000 and Boivin three-bet to 180,000.

"All the information I needed," Katz said before folding.

A few hands later, Boivin raised to 50,000 on the button and Katz defended his big blind. Katz checked on the flop of 4♣A♥9♠ and Boivin continued for 30,000. Katz called. Both players then checked on the 10♦ turn.

Katz led out for 25,000 on the 5♠ river and Boivin called, only to muck as Katz showed 9♣7♣ for a pair of nines.

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Cary Katz raised to 50,000 under the gun, Thomas Boivin flatted on the button, and Nick Petrangelo three-bet to 325,000, leaving himself with 45,000 behind. Catz got out of the way and Boivin moved all in to put Petrangelo at risk, who tossed in the rest of his stack.

Nick Petrangelo: K♠J♣ All in
Thomas Boivin: Q♣Q♥

Petrangelo found some help on the 6♠8♠4♠ flop, picking up a flush draw.

However, he was unable to get there as the board ran out 4♣, A♥, and he was sent to the rail.

Thomas Boivin opened to 50,000 in the hijack and Cary Katz and Bryn Kenney called in the blinds.

Katz also folded and showed 5x5x, leading Kenney to table K♣9♣ for just king-high as he dragged in the pot.

The flop came Q♠7♣6♣ and both players checked to the 6♠ turn. Petrangelo led out with a bet of 135,000 and Katz called.

On the 4♥ river, Petrangelo slowed down with a check and Katz elected to check back, tabling 5♠4♠.

"You're the best," said Petrangelo as he tossed his cards into the muck.
