$10,000 Eight-Handed NLH (Re-Entry)
Structure | Payouts
Level 15:  20,000/40,000 with a 40,000 ante
Players Remaining:  9 of 89

Bryn Kenney wasn’t here at the start, but he showed up just as the blind level increased to 20,000-40,000 with a 40,000 ante.

In Kenney’s first hand, Eli Berg raised under the gun to 100,000, Kenney called from the hijack, and Dylan Smith moved all in from the cutoff for 785,000.

Berg quickly folded, and Kenney called with AcKd. Smith turned over KcQc, and needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came 4d2h2cQd4h, and Smith paired his queen on the turn to win the pot and double up in chips.

Dylan Smith  –  1,770,000  (44 bb)
Bryn Kenney  –  520,000  (13 bb)

With nine players remaining from a field of 89, the average chip stack is around 990,000 (25 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $26,900 each.
