Ebony's Ivories

"Does anyone mind if I film you?" Ebony Kenney asked her table earlier with a big smile. The table naturally wanted to know the details, and Kenney went on to explain that she's in the semifinals of qualification for a TV reality show, and she's been told to film herself at work. "Please?" she asked with a smile that could win over even the staunchest of players.
They agreed, as you do when an attractive woman with an intoxicating smile asks you for a favor.
A few minutes later, we watched Kenney do some straight-faced work in this pot. It began with the cutoff opening to 600, and Huy Nguyen flatted on the button. Kenney squeezed in a reraise to 1,525 from the small blind, but the cutoff came right back with another raise to 3,900 total. That forced Nguyen out of the way, but Kenney came along with the call to see the flop.
It brought 
and two quick checks, and Kenney led out with 5,025 on the 
turn. Mr. Cutoff called that bet, but it's as far as he could go. Kenney bet 7,700 on the 
river, and her opponent tanked and folded his hand.
With that chip boost, Kenney has worked her stack up over the 30,000-chip mark.
