Bryn Kenney has been at the center of public opinion lately due to his involvement in a cheating scandal. Not only was he alone, he also suffered a major blow at the table.
In the latest issue of High Stakes Poker, Bryn Kenney lost a huge pot of $934,000 in a match against Krish Menon.
Bryn Kenney is the most profitable tournament player in Texas Hold'em history. But some time ago, some players revealed that he was the leader of an online poker cheating team similar to a cult, involving a variety of violations such as decking cards and playing on behalf of others. He denied the allegations in a 70-minute interview with PokerNews in April, but his claims contradicted some of the evidence that came to light latest.
When PokerGO recorded this episode, the cheating allegations had not yet been revealed, and it is foreseeable that this will be his last appearance on the show. This episode, the 12th episode of HSP9, aired on PokerGO this Monday night.
In terms of lineup, except for John Andress, who replaced Phil Ivey, the same as the previous episode. Here are a few of the best matches in HSP9-12...
Gego didn't play well
In this episode, Gaigo's play is somewhat unsatisfactory. He failed in one hand and missed an opportunity to play more value in another.
Flip forward
In the 500/1000 game, Patrik Antonius raises the muzzle position with 65 to 3,000. Guy called with Q10 in the button bit.
Flop 6J6
Antonius hit three of them and he crossed the cards; Gago placed a bet of 8,000 with a Q Hi, and his opponents called.
Transfer 7
Antonius played the cards again to Guy, and this time he passed the cards as well.
River brand K
Antonius continued to play slowly, passing cards to Gaigo; Gaigo's showdown was worth zero, but he did not want to retreat without a fight, so he bluffed 40,000, but after his opponent added 150,000, he had to fold.
Soon after, Gego missed an opportunity to play more value against Eric Persson. The public card is 5K72J and the pot has 73,000.
Eric Persson's K7 hit two pairs, and he crossed the cards to Guy. Gaigo was in the lead by hitting the Dark Three with 55, but due to concerns about the opponent's potential flush, Gaigo finally decided to play the card instead of playing value.
On a wet deck, facing a loose player, this situation is difficult, so Gaigo's pass is definitely not a bad decision.
Krish Menon River card kills Bryn Kenney
Remember the day Gus Hansen defeated danniu gourd with four? That hand is one of the most classic matches in the HSP series. The hand you're about to see is arguably the same, and even more interesting, especially for those who have turned bryn Kenney from black over the past few weeks.
Flip forward
DoorDash takeaway app founder Stanley Tang grabbed the head 2,000; Krish Menon raised to 7,000 with 77; Bryn Kenney raised 96 3-bet to 20,000; Krish Menon was the only player to call.
Flop 656
Bryn Kenney, who hit three bars, continued to bet 30,000; Krish Menon crossed the cards - call.
Transfer 5
Krish Menon continued to play the cards; Bryn Kenney, who got the gourd, placed a bet of 80,000, and then a pleasant voice came from his ear "Raise to 200,000" and he quickly called.
River 7
Krish Menon got the better gourd, he immediately pressed it all, and Bryn Kenney also decisively called. And just like that, the biggest pot of the season, worth 934,500, was born.
