Kenney Takes Small One On Turn

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

A raise from the under-the-gun player kicked off the action on this hand before Jean-Robert Bellande, Bryn Kenney, Sam Grafton and the small blind all called. Bellande and Kenney were in middle position, and Grafton was behind them in the hijack seat.

On the {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{K-Clubs} flop, all five players checked to see the {5-Spades} land on fourth street. After three checks put the action on Kenney, he fired out 400. Everyone opted to fold, and Kenney was pushed the pot.
