Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Bryn Kenney and Derek Ip were engaged in a conversation of good places to eat in Hong Kong when Kenney made it 7,000 to go from the hijack. Kahle Burns called on the button as he chimed in.

"I don't think I could ever spend like $20,000 on a meal like you, Bryn."

"Nah, I think the most I spent on a single meal was like $2,000," Kenney responded.

"I think the most I spent was $400 and I felt dirty about it," Kahle chuckled.

Back to the action, Conor Beresford also called from the big blind and the three players saw a flop of . The action checked to Burns who bet 6,500 and Beresford check-raised all in for around 40,000. Kenney quickly folded and Burns snap-called.

Beresford tabled for top pair but was in trouble against the of Burns. The and runout would not help Beresford as he was sent to the rail.

The life of a high-roller conversation continued with Kenney talking about his biggest splurge. "The most I splurged was when they tried to give me a middle seat from Las Vegas to the Bahamas and there was no way that was happening. It was either I get a private jet or don't go." And Kenney was in the Bahamas so we know what that entailed.
