Steele Looks to End it Early

Calum Grant

Level 25 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 0 ante

Michael Steele opened on the button to 6,000 and called when Patrick Kennedy three-bet to 25,000 from the big blind.

Kennedy continued with a pot-sized bet on the 9?8?5? flop before check-folding to a bet of 80,000 on the 3? turn to give Steele the lead.

A few hands later, Steele kicked off the action again, making it 8,000. Kennedy remained active and raised to 28,000. Steele responded with a four-bet to 100,000 and was called.

With 200,000 in the middle on the 10?3?3? flop, Steele fired out another 55,000 and was called. The American looked to end it on the 2? turn, jamming for Kennedy's last 350,000.

"This is so sick," agonized Kennedy as he used up one of his time banks. He peeked at his cards a few more times, before folding to concede the pot.
