Bryn Kenney just took his seat during the break and was directed to the open spot on the left of Phil Ivey. Just a few hands later, Ivey opened to 36,000 from early position and Kenney three-bet to 130,000. The action folded back to Ivey who called to see a flop of {k-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{2-Hearts}.

Both players checked and the {7-Spades} landed on the turn. Ivey checked again and Kenney slid in a delayed continuation bet of 120,000. Ivey called and the {3-Diamonds} completed the board. Ivey checked for the third time and Kenney barrelled another 365,000. Ivey made the call and Kenney turned over {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. Ivey showed {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for two pair and dragged in the pot.
