Kennedy Spotted at Table 512

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

Brett Kennedy was in position in a heads-up pot on a board reading {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and bet about 1,500 when checked to. His opponent called.

The opponent checked again on the {10-Spades} turn and opted to fold when Kennedy threw out a bet of 3,000.

Kennedy gave PokerNews his name and the table reacted strongly upon learning the player's surname.

"Oh my god, you're a Kennedy?" one player said. "Guys, we've got John F. Kennedy, Jr. at our table."

Kennedy assured the table he wasn't cursed but also noted that he did not fly into Vegas.

"I never fly," he said.
