With the board showing AdAc5hQc on the turn, Bryn Kenney bet 425,000, and Ali Imsirovic called.

The river card was the 8c, Kenney moved all in for about 2.72 million, and Imsirovic tanked for a while before he folded.

Imsirovic showed one card — the Ah — and Kenney put out his cards and let Imsirovic choose one to turn over. It was the 5c.

“It’s a club,” said Imsirovic. “Okay, I feel good.”

Bryn Kenney  –  3,925,000  (98 bb)
Ali Imsirovic  –  6,275,000  (157 bb)

A hand or three later, with the board showing Jh9c6s3s on the turn, Imsirovic checked, Kenney bet 645,000, and Imsirovic moved all in.

Kenney quickly called all in for 3,685,000 with AsJc for a pair of jacks, and Imsirovic turned over 10s7s for a spade flush draw with a gutshot straight draw. Kenney needed his hand to hold to stay alive.

The river card was the Ad, and Kenney won the pot with two pair, aces and jacks, to double up in chips.

Bryn Kenney  –  8,150,000  (204 bb)
