Kenney Nearly Wins a Huge One

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Bryn Kenney raised to 1,800 in the hijack, Bryan Colin three-bet to 5,500 in the cutoff, and Dario Sammartino cold four-bet to 10,700 out of the small blind. Kenney put in a fifth bet, making it 23,600 to go, and Colin moved all in for 24,900 - less than a legal raise.

This meant the action was capped, and all Sammartino could do was call or fold. He chose the former.

The dealer fanned {4-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{k-Spades}, Sammartino checked, and Kenney placed out a bet of what looked like 17,000 or so. Sammartino let out a long sigh, then flashed {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} before folding.

Kenney: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Colin: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

Kenney's aces held as the turn and river bricked {2-Diamonds}, {3-Diamonds} respectively, and Kenney pulled in the pot.

"Cazo," Sammartino blurted, still upset about folding his two queens.

"You lost the minimum," Kenney told him, grinning.
