Zeibaq Catching Up to Kennedy
Level 16
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Yousef Zeibaq raised to 16,000 under the gun and Christopher Kennedy called in the small blind. Roy Kim then moved all in for 180,000 in the big blind, and Zeibaq tanked for a minute before folding. Kennedy quickly gave up his hand.
"I need to see what you had. Tell me later," Zeibaq said to Kim, saying he had two tens.
The next hand, Kennedy opened to 15,000 on the button and both Kim and Zeibaq called in the blinds. "This side of the table is getting a little froggy. I said play nice," Zeibaq said going to the A♠8♣Q♥ flop.
Kennedy continued for 15,000, and only Zeibaq called. Both players checked down the 2♣ turn and 7♣ river, and Zeibaq took the pot with K♥Q♦ for a pair of queens.
