Kennedy and Yokosawa Trade Blows

Level 2 : Blinds 400/800, 0 ante

Masato Yokosawa raised on the button to 1,500, and was met with a three-bet to 6,000 by Patrick Kennedy.

Kennedy then checked the Q29 flop, allowing Yokosawa to take over the betting, sliding out 4,000. Kennedy had a plan, though, and check-raised to 14,000.

Yokosawa relinquished his hand.

Just a few hands later, it was Yokosawa applying the pressure.

With 18,000 in the pot and the board reading 4A73, Kennedy led out from the big blind for 13,000. Yokosawa called.

Kennedy checked the Q river, and Yokosawa fired out a bet of 20,000. Enough to take it down.
