Bryn Kenney raised from early position with Ryan Johnson calling from the hijack and Joe Cassidy calling in the big blind.
When it checked to Kenney on the 8♣3♣4♠ flop, he bet. Johnson called, but Cassidy check-raised. Kenney and Johnson both called.
Cassidy bet on the 10♦ turn, which got Kenney to fold and Johnson to call.
Check, check followed the 4♣ river and Cassidy turned over Q♦8♠ for a pair of eights. Johnson had him beat with 9♣9♥, and the pot was pushed his way.
