Jordan Siegel: XxXx/5♣4♦8♣K♣/Xx

Bryn Kenney took his seat at this table as players were coming back from break and received a round of congratulations and fist bumps for his runner-up finish in the PPC a few days ago, including from Phil Hellmuth.

"Thanks, Phil. It was the most tilting way to lose, though," Kenney told Hellmuth.

Meanwhile, Jordan Siegel had completed and Christopher Vitch called. Siegel then bet on fourth street and Vitch called.

Siegel bet again on fifth and Vitch called after making a pair of tens. Both players checked on sixth and seventh, and Siegel showed K♥8♦6♦ for kings and eights to win the pot.

Richard Sklar, runner-up in this event last year, was eliminated at the same time at another table.
