Kenney Falls After Paying Off Smith
Bryn Kenney opened to 17,000 in middle position and Dan Smith flat-called on the button, while Ben Heath also came along from the big blind.
Heath checked on the flop of 
and Kenney continued for 16,000. Smith called and Heath got out of the way. Kenney then bet 32,000 on the 
turn and Smith called.
Kenney slowed down on the 
river and Smith announced a bet of 88,000. Kenney sighed and stretched as he exhausted three of his time banks. Eventually, he called.
"Ace-jack," announced Smith before showing 
, leading Kenney to muck as he was left with crumbs.
Just a few hands later, Kenney open-jammed from under the gun and was called by the bigger-stacked Juan Pardo in the small blind.

Kenney had run into kings to be drawing thin and received no help from the runout to mark his elimination. It is unlikely any tears were shed by other players in the event as the second all-time money leader was accused last year of running an online cheating ring.
Elsewhere, fellow American high-stakes pro Nick Petrangelo was eliminated.
