Kennedy Spikes the River to Double
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Lukas Hafner raised to 13,000 under the gun and Barakeh Fadi called in the hijack. Anthony Kennedy then moved all in for 211,000 in the big blind and Hafner called, while Fadi got out of the way.
Anthony Kennedy: A?6?
Lukas Hafner: A?Q?
Hafner had Kennedy dominated and was poised for the knockout as the flop came 3?K?Q? to give him a pair. The turn was the K? and Kennedy picked up some hope with a flush draw, and he completed the flush on the 7? river to earn a miracle double up.
