Peters Falls to Kenney

Level 6 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Bryn Kenney opened to 5,500 under the gun and David Peters called on the button. Tom Marchese paid up as well and the three went to a {9-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} flop. Both Marchese and Kenney checked and Peters bet 11,000. Just Kenney called this round and the {6-Clubs} fell on the turn.

Kenney check-called a bet of 18,000 bringing the {7-Spades} on the river. Kenney checked one more time and Peters moved all in for 54,500. Kenney took a moment before making the call and Peters tabled the {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for just ace-high. Kenney turned over the {q-Hearts}{j-Spades} and his two pair was good enough to bust Peters.
