Jonathan Jaffe raised under the gun to 65,000, Alex Foxen reraised from middle position to 160,000, and Bryn Kenney moved all in from the big blind for 740,000. Jaffe called, and Foxen folded.

Kenney showed AhAd, and he needed it to hold to stay alive against Jaffe’s AsKc.

Foxen smiled and said, “I knew they were both weak.”

The board came 10c8c4sJs9h, and Jaffe turned a gutshot straight draw, but improved no further. Kenney won the pot with his pocket aces to double up in chips.

Bryn Kenney  –  1,685,000  (56 bb)
Jonathan Jaffe  –  60,000  (2 bb)

The next hand, Jaffe was forced all in blind from the big blind, and Kenney was the one who knocked him out.

Bryn Kenney  –  1,745,000  (58 bb)
Jonathan Jaffe  –  Eliminated in 7th Place  ($62,900)

With six players remaining, the average chip stack is around 1,115,000 (37 big blinds), and the remaining players are guaranteed at least $77,800 each.
