Patrick Kennedy Eliminated in 5th Place ($170,036)
Level 31
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Patrick Kennedy is our first causality of the day. In this hand, Kennedy limped in from the small blind. Yosef Fox was in the big blind, and he moved all in. Kennedy snap called.
Patrick Kennedy: K♠K♦
Yosef Fox: J♦J♥
The flop brought the spicy Q♠J♠10♠, so Fox had the lead with his three jacks, but Kennedy had a royal flush draw. The 8♦ and Q♥ were not what he needed to survive this all in, and finished in fifth place.
The two players had struck up some camaraderie from playing together over the last two days, and that showed as Kennedy exited. "I hope it's the $250,000 for you", he told Fox.
We're still waiting for the bounty to be drawn, and the clock is paused as tournament staff tries to fix a problem with the bounty drawing technology.
