Roller Coaster Ride for Reixach and Kenney

Level 18 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Action folded to Sergi Reixach in the small blind and he pushed all in to put the pressure on big blind Bryn Kenney. The latter had an easy call with {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades} and called all in for 661,000. Reixach had {A-Spades}{5-Spades} and would not improve on {2-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{K-Spades}.

Reixach had 618,00 left after that hand and would lose some more the next hand. He opened for 100,000 from the cutoff and big blind Byron Kaverman called. The flop came {Q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and Kaverman checked. Reixach bet 50,000 and Kaverman moved in for 251,000. Reixach called instantly with the {Q-Spades}{10-Clubs} and was in front against Kaverman's {5-Spades}{9-Spades}. The {3-Hearts} on the turn was a blank but the {9-Hearts} on the river changed things around and Kaverman doubled.

Not much later, Sergi Reixach shoved from middle position for 252,000. Bryn Kenney, his neighbor, cold called and all other players folded. Reixach showed {Q-Spades}{8-Spades} and Kenney tabled {K-Clubs}{J-Hearts}. The board ran out {4-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades} and with the rivered flush, Reixach doubled up.

Bryn Kenney raised to 110,000 from middle position and big blind Mustapha Kanit called. Kanit check-called 105,000 on {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} before both of them checked the {5-Spades} on the turn. The {K-Spades} completed the board and Kanit checked. Kenney bet 210,000 and Kanit called. Kenney showed {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts} and Kanit mucked.

It's break now, exact counts are to follow.
