Jeffrey Kenny got his stack of 765,000 in the middle before the flop from under the gun as an opponent on the button put him at risk.
Jeffrey Kenny: A?A?
Opponent: Q?Q?
Kenny was far ahead with his aces and poised for a double up as the flop came 6?10?9?. The J? turn gave his opponent some hope with a straight draw, but Kenny held on through the 5? river to double up.
"Yes. Always a sweat," he yelled out before taking in the pot.
Jose Aguilera, last year's 10th-place Main Event finisher, is also at this table.
