Brutal Day Ends For Kenney
His girlfriend Ana Marquez was just eliminated by running into aces and Bryn Kenney did it the other way around. He had aces twice and lost both times knocking him out towards the end of the fourth level.
Kenny told us he first ran aces into aces for a 4,000 chip pot in which opponent made a flush. Not long after that he raised from the cutoff to 550 and the button called. The flop came down 
with two spades and Kenney put in a 1,050 continuation bet. His opponent called and the turn was a 
. Kenny put in a 2,200 bet and his opponent decided to move all in. Kenney had started the hand with 11,000 chips and made the call for his tournament life.
His top set was well in front against 
for a pair and a flush draw. Kenney could only been knocked out by a spade, and the river brought out the 
. A short day for Kenney and Marquez who could still smile after losing a bunch of brutal hands.

Eric Froehlich is Out
![[user169505]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
The hijack opened up for 400 and Eric Froehlich moved all-in for 5,850 on the button. The player in the small blind called and the hijack moved all-in. A pained expression came over the face of the small blind as he realised he couldn't call for the rest of his stack. He placed his 5,850 in the middle and folded his hand leaving the pair heads up.

"Give me my hand back…I haven't mucked…I may muck in a moment though," said Froehlich.
Board: 
Froehlich did muck his hand after all.

Kings, Queens and Jacks
We caught the action with a ton of chips already moved into the middle. We were still pre flop and Hafiz Khan was pondering over a huge decision. The player to his left was all in for 3,350 while Cary Katz, on Khan's right, put his 12,150 chips into the pot. Khan had invested 500 chips into the pot and thought for quite some time before making the call.
