Kenneth McKeown Completes Spiral into the Abyss

Kenneth McKeown began the day in the driver’s seat, with his pedal to the metal the entire time. He was smashing all day with cards falling in his favor, but the tides have turned as of late and he now finds his stack taking a plummet.

William McCracken opens and McKeown shoves for what is left of his once monster stack, shoving in around 885,000. McCracken snaps for about 115,000 less and the two turn over their hands.

The flop comes down  and McCracken is leading with his jacks. The  turn leaves McKeown with one last shot at a snowman but a  river is the opposite of what he needs, giving McCracken a boat and the pot.

McKeown shoves the next hand, putting in his remaining stack of about 115,000 with queen-four off and runs into pocket nines, he fails to hit and completes his downfall during the last level of the night, falling from first to out in just a few blind levels.

William McCracken – 1,550,000
Kenneth McKeown – Eliminated in 36th Place ($14,475)
