Kennedy Gets It All From Fast

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Dietrich Fast
Dietrich Fast

In a pot of some 33,500 to the {a-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades}{4-Clubs} turn, Dietrich Fast checked out of the blinds and Patrick Kennedy bet 9,500 in the cutoff. Some two minutes passed before Fast jammed all-in for around 25,000 and Kennedy beat him into the pot with a snap-call.

Dietrich Fast: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Patrick Kennedy: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

Fast was crushed and found no miracle escape on the {6-Clubs} river as Kennedy further improved to the nut flush.

"Nice hand cuz, you got it all from him in two hands," Steven Buckner added in table chat. Baruch Forst added "it was even the same flop," to which Kennedy replied, "I made the nut flush again in clubs".

Buckner, who has been entertaining the table as usual with his very jovial chat, added "I am sure that was still in his head."

Hajiyev Eliminated for Now

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Ramin Hajiyev was suddenly left with a shorter stack and got those chips in with the {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}. He was dominated by the {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} of Tamas Konya and failed to gain any help on the {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{2-Spades}{q-Hearts} board.

Brewer's Jam Leaves Jaffe Short

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Heads-up to the {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{a-Spades} turn, Chris Brewer checked and then called a bet worth 6,500 by Jonathan Jaffe. On the {8-Clubs} river, Brewer checked again and Jaffe then bet 18,000 for most of his remaining stack. Brewer jammed after some 20 seconds and Jaffe sent his cards into the muck after he was caught with the fingers in the cookie jar.

Boyadjian Can't Beat Pais; Josephy Hops into PCA Main Event

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Mauricio Pais opened to 1,500 from under the gun and was called by Mustapha Kanit and Yervand Boyadjian from the blinds.

On the {q-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop, Kanit checked before Boyadjian led out for 1,400. Only Pais called.

The {3-Diamonds} turn checked through to the {3-Hearts} river, Boyadjian fired for 5,100 and was quickly called.

Boyadjian had the {5-}{2-} for threes full of fives but the pot was awarded to Pais as he {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for threes full of queens.

"How do you have queen nine there? I just can't beat you," commented a frustrated Boyadjian.

As that hand played out, Cliff Josephy joined the table.
