Butler Doubles Again
Level 29
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Hamid Izadi raised to 400,000 on the button, Chris Kennedy flatted in the small blind, and Joshua Butler three-bet jammed in the big blind for 4,350,000 to put himself at risk. Izadi got out of the way and Kennedy thought for a moment before making the call.
Joshua Butler: A♣10♣ 
Chris Kennedy: Q♣J♥
Butler pulled ahead further on the 2♦6♠A♠ flop, pairing his ace. The 5♦ turn and 9♦ river offered no help to Kennedy who was left on fumes.
