Kennedy's Performance is Stainless vs. Steele

After being left short, Michael Steele was all in and at risk for his tournament life.

In a limped pot to the 9♠8♦7♠ flop, Patrick Kennedy jammed, and Steele committed his last 51,000.

In quick succession, Kennedy flopped another set of eights but fell behind when Kennedy completed his straight on the 6♥ turn. The Q♠ river ensured Steele's double and the match continued.

Shortly after, Steele jammed from the button and Kennedy snap-called.

Steele remained in front on the K♠8♠8♣ flop but Kennedy made his flush on the 7♠ turn. The 5♣ river marked Steele's demise and was the first player to exit on Day 2.
