Kennedy yanks Asehan out of 1M mark

Level 22: 10,000 / 20,000 ante: 20,000

Brett Kennedy

With the action folded to him, American Brett Kennedy raises it to 40,000 from the CO and gets 3-bet all-in by chip-leader Edgar Asehan of the host nation in the BB. Kennedy calls by shoving his last 278,000.

Asehan shows A♣ Q♦ while the American tables Q♥ Q♠ .

The flop of 5♥ K♥ T♦ gave a semblance hope to the Filipino as a gutshot striaght draw appeared. The last two cards are the 6♦ and the K♦ to drop Asehan below one million in chips for the first time in a couple of orbits and have Kennedy averting an assassination attempt.
