Halfway through the Poker Masters players are raving and fans are gushing at the unprecedented schedule of events. Commentators Ali Nejad and David Williams have seen just about everything in poker, but even they’re blown away by what’s unfolded at the ARIA Resort & Casino.
Dan Smith raised to 80,000 under the gun and Bryn Kenney responded with a three-bet to 295,000 from the small blind. Smith then four-bet all in for 1.42 million and Kenney didn't take long to call.
Kenney:
Smith:
Smith needed to get lucky with his inferior pair, but there would be no "seven from heaven" as the board ran out a dry .
Jake Schindler just limped from the button and Bryn Kenney folded from the small blind. Erik Seidel then moved all in from the big and Schindler snap-called off his stack.
Seidel:
Schindler:
It was a flip, but Schindler needed to improve to stay alive. The flop was no help to him, and neither was the turn.
Schindler needed to catch either an ace or king on the river to survive, but it was not meant to be as instead the improved Seidel to a set.
