Nagy Strikes Back
Level 27
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
After winning a few small pots off of Patrick Kennedy without showdown, Gergo Nagy limped in from the button and Kennedy checked from the big blind.
Both players checked the 5?4?2? flop leading to the 7? turn. Kennedy bet 125,000 and Nagy raised to 350,000. Kennedy made the call.
On the 9? river Kennedy checked and Nagy bet 900,000. Kennedy, with a pained expression on his face, made the call and showed 8?5?5?2? for a set of fives. Nagy had him beat with J?9?8?6? for a straight to take down a massive pot and reclaim the chip lead from Kennedy.
