Kenney Makes Two Pair
Level 10
: 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante
Although Bryn Kenney started off Day 2 on a high, things quickly turned sour when he ran a bluff that went wrong against Alexandru Papazian's rivered flush. Ever since, Kenney has been trying to claw his way back, hopefully avoiding another re-entry.
On a flop reading 
, Benjamin Pollak led out from the big blind for 85,000 into a pot of around 140,000. Kenney made the call from the cutoff and the 
landed on the turn. Both players checked to the 
on the river. Pollak made a large overbet of 330,000 and Kenney quickly called.
Pollak tabled 
for a pair of eights and Kenney took down the pot with two pair, holding 
. Kenney has now climbed back over the starting stack heading into the first break of the day.
