Kenney Wins the Race to Double Up
Niveau 14
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Action folded to Nick Maimone in the cutoff, and he raised to 85,000. It then folded to Bryn Kenney in the big blind, who three-bet all in for his stack of 760,000. Maimone gave it some thought and said "I really dont want to call" before putting his chips in the middle to make the call.
Bryn Kenney: 5♥5♣ 
Nick Maimone: A♣J♠
It was a race for Kenney's tournament life, and when the board ran out 2♠Q♦8♦8♥9♥ the pocket fives of Kenney were still best, giving him the double up.
