Davey, Venkatesan Head to the Races
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Roie Sheskin raised to 10,000 under the gun and Kieran Davey called in the hijack. Kade Venkatesan then three-bet to 30,000 on the button and Sheskin folded, but Davey moved all in for 120,000. Venkatesan snap-called.
Kieran Davey: 10♠10♦
Kade Venkatesan: A♠K♥
Davey was racing for his tournament life, and his tens stayed in the lead through the 8♦3♠6♠6♦10♣ board as he ended up with a full house to secure the double up.
"Didn't feel good about it," Davey said.
"When he snaps, you don't," tablemate George Karmires added.
