Edengren Bombs Away at Greene; Kessler Focused on Fantasy
"Ninth place is the next points bubble," Allen Kessler said, checking the status of his fantasy team.
"You also make an additional $26,000," Bruno Furth reminded him.
Meanwhile, at another table Magnus Edengren had raised to 90,000 under the gun and Jonathan Greene called in the hijack.
The flop came 3♥J♦5♦ and Edengren bet 150,000. Greene called to the 5♠ turn, where Edengren bet another 250,000. Greene again called.
The 4♦ fell on the river and Edengren bet 1,000,000, enough to cover Greene's remaining stack. Greene spent the next several minutes in the tank as Kessler wandered over to the table.
"You're guaranteed to make 13th place. Way above your expectations in any other tournament," Greene's tablemate Shaun Deeb told Kessler.
Greene eventually folded and Edengren took the pot.
