River Keeps Kenney Afloat
Level 10
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Alex Foxen raised in early position to 30,000, and, next to act, Jesse Lonis called. Action then folded to Bryn Kenney in the big blind, who moved all in for 110,000. Foxen then four-bet to 190,000, and Lonis called again.
Foxen continued for 110,000 on a 2♣4♦4♣ flop and Lonis folded.
Bryn Kenney: 9♣9♦
Alex Foxen: A♣6♣
Foxen was behind but had plenty of outs, and it didn't take him long to find one. The turn A♥ moved him into the lead and left Kenney with just two outs to keep his seat in the tournament.
Fortunately for Kenney, the deck was kind, as the river came the 9♥, improving him to a full house and giving him the full triple-up.
