Bryn Kenney - 8th place
Bryn Kenney - 8th place

Phil Ivey: {x-}{x-} / {2-Hearts} (FOLDED)
Bryn Kenney: {x-}{x-} / {a-Spades}{6-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
John Monnette: {x-}{x-} / {7-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

Ivey brought it in with the {2-Spades}, Kenney completed with the {a-Spades}, and Monnette raised. Ivey released, and Kenney called. On fourth, Kenney led out. Monnette raised, and Kenney called.

Kenney got the rest of his chips in on fifth street, and turned over {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for a pair of eights. Monnette was rolled up with {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} however. Kenney needed an eight or running queens, sixes or aces to make a better high, or running low cards to split the pot. He was dealt running jacks however, and is our eigth-place finisher.

Adam Friedman{x-}{x-} / {q-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} / {x-}

We caught up with the action on fourth street, where Friedman check-called a bet from Arntzen. Friedman then led out on fifth, sixth and seventh, and Arntzen called all three bets.

"It's time to get going," Arntzen sighed as he called on seventh.

Friedman turned over {q-Clubs}{8-Spades}{6-Spades} for queens up, scooping the pot, and leaving Arntzen with just 5,000 in chips.

Nikolai Yakovenko{x-}{x-} / {3-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} / {x-}

There was no bring in because Arntzen was all in with the ante, and Brunson folded. Friedman completed, and only Yakovenko called. Yakovenko check-called a bet on fourth street, the two checked on fifth, and Yakovenko led out on sixth. Friedman called. Both players knuckled on seventh, and Friedman turned over {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{4-Spades} for fives and fours. Yakovenko was forced to show his hand, but it was quickly mucked and we missed the contents, and Arntzen tabled {10-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{x-} for no made hand.

He was eliminated in fifth place, and exited the main stage to a round of applause.

Yakovenko: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} / {3-Diamonds}
Friedman: {A-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} / {A-Clubs}

Friedman caught running jacks on fifth and sixth giving him aces and jacks, while Yakovenko failed to improve beyond his pair of nines, sending him home in 4th place.

John Monnette - 3rd Place

Adam Friedman bet out on fourth street and received a call from John Monnette. Friedman fired again on fifth and Monnette counted out his chips before pushing a raise to the middle. Friedman re-raised and just like that Monnette was all in.

Friedman had {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} showing on his board and flipped up {j-Spades}{4-Hearts} in the hole. Monnette rolled his eyes, tabling {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} as his hole cards. Monnette managed to make two pair, aces and nines, but still could not beat the trip fours of Friedman. Monnette will collect $109,444.
