Charania Puts The Worst Beat on Kenney
Level 12
: 1,200/2,400, 500 ante
"That was the worst beat of my career," Bryn Kenney laughed as he told his bustout hand to numerous interested players. We missed most of the action, but caught the board and Faraz Jaka recapped the action for us.
Kenney raised and called Mohsin Charania's three-bet after which the flop brought 
and both players checked. On the turn the 
popped up and that card sparked a ton of action.
After a raising war Kenney ended up all in, after starting the hand with 110,000 chips, while Charania barely had him covered.
Kenney showed 
for a full house and Charania turned over 
for a gutshot straight flush draw on top of his straight. The river brought the 
and while Kenney improved to a bigger full house Charania made his straight flush.

Ausmus Five-Bet Jams
Level 12
: 1,200/2,400, 500 ante
From middle position, Jeremy Ausmus raised to 5,000. Mustapha Kanit reraised from the hijack seat to 11,000, and then play moved over to David Peters on the button. Peter reraised and made it 21,700 to go with about 75,000 behind. Ausmus took some time to think, then reraised all in for 64,600.
Action then fell back on Kanit, and he went into the tank for a couple of minutes. Eventually, Kanit folded, and it was Peters' turn to tank. Peters requested the 21,700 amounts be pulled in so he could see the difference in the shove amount from Ausmus and try to calculate his odds. Peters looked a bit pained by the decision, and it took him several minutes to come to a conclusion. All the while, Ausmus sat motionless.
In the end, Peters folded his hand, and Ausmus won the pot, moving to over 100,000 without having to even see a flop.
