Zelinko and Wahdan Split Kennedy's Chips
This hand was picked up on the flop of 4♦K♦8♠ when Alexander Zelinko led for 16,000 from early position. James Kennedy shoved for 10,000 to put himself at risk from the next seat over. Odeh Wahdan called the bet of 16,000, as Kennedy would have to get through two opponents to survive.
Zelinko bet 10,000 on the 4♣ turn and was called by Wahdan.
The 3♠ river resulted in another bet of 10,000 from Zelinko. Wahdan called as the three players went to showdown.
Zelinko showed A♠K♥. Wahdan had the same hand with A♦K♠. Kennedy was the odd man out as he rolled over 6♦5♦ for a missed straight draw. Zelinko and Wahdan chopped up both the side and main pot to eliminate Kennedy.
Kennedy bought back into the tournament to start with a fresh starting stack of 40,000.
