Tyler Kenney Eliminated in 3rd Place ($170,000)

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 5,000 ante
Tyler Kenney - 3rd place
Tyler Kenney - 3rd place

Dan Shak opened to 200,000 from the small blind, and Tyler Kenney three-bet shoved his 1.625 million into the middle from the big. Shak made the quick call, and Kenney was at risk as the cards were turned up.

Showdown
Shak: {A-Hearts} {Q-Spades}
Kenney: {A-Spades} {7-Clubs}

The news was not good for the at-risk Kenney as he was dominated and needing to catch a card to stay alive. The {9-Hearts} {J-Hearts} {8-Hearts} flop made things even worse for Kenney as his outs were reduced by one. The turn {10-Clubs} meant that he couldn't even double up now, drawing dead to a chop. He needed to find one of the non-heart queens to stay in contention, but the river was the {4-Hearts}. That completed Shak's flush, plenty good enough to snag the rest of Kenney's chips.

It was a fine run for the lesser-known Kenney brother, and he'll depart with a third-place paycheck worth $170,000.
