Sick Run Out for Kenney

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The action folded to Jan Christoph Von Halle in middle position who shoved all in for 108,000. Bryn Kenney called from the cutoff and the two hands were tabled. Kenney was in a dominating position with {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades} against Von Halle's {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}.

The flop came {a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and Kenney was in prime position to score the knockout. The {k-Diamonds} on the turn gave Von Halle a pair of kings and the {k-Hearts} on the river improved him to trip kings. The table was in shock with the runout and Kenney was left with just 6,500 chips.

In the very next hand, Von Halle was faced with a raise to 12,000 from early position and he three-bet to 42,000. Kenney stuck in his last few chips and the initial raiser called as well. The flop fell {10-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and Von Halle bet 64,000, forcing his opponent out of the pot. Kenney turned over {4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and Von Halle held {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}. The board ran out two more hearts and Von Halle made a flush to eliminate Kenney.
