Martini Holds to Eliminate Kennedy

Level 19 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante
Patrick Kennedy and Julien Martini
Patrick Kennedy and Julien Martini

Patrick Kennedy opened to 8,000 on the button and Julien Martini three-bet to 22,000. Kennedy called and the flop of {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} hit the felt. Martini continued for another 22,000 and Kennedy jammed all in for around 105,000 which Martini quickly called.

Patrick Kennedy: {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}
Julien Martini: {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

Kennedy flopped a straight and flush draw but a {3-} on the turn and a {j-} on the river were of no help and Martini advanced to the next round.
