Arieh Can't Stand Kenney's Pressure

Level 3

No-Limit Hold'em

Bryn Kenney raised to 1,500 under the gun and was called by Josh Arieh (hijack), Michael Mizrachi (button), and Roman Yitzhaki (big blind).

The flop fell {Q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and Kenney's contination bet of 3,800 was only called by Arieh. The {2-Diamonds} hit the turn and Kenny bet 8,800. Arieh called again to see the {K-Diamonds} hit the river. Kenney fired 19,600, too rich for Arieh to call.

Kenny upped his stack to about 155,000, while Arieh slipped to roughly 145,000.
