A few minutes later, Bryn Kenney raised under the gun to 70,000, Martin Zamani reraised from the button to 380,000, and Kenney asked for a rough count of Zamani’s stack. Zamani carefully broke down his chips to make them easy to count (it’s a little less than 2.5 million), but he suggested that somebody else would do a better job of counting his chips. Kenney verbally assessed it as about 2.5 million, and he called the three-bet.

, and Kenney bet 1,585,000. Zamani went into the tank with about 1,800,000 in his stack.
“I knew this was coming,” said Zamani, “and I still wasn’t ready for it.” Zamani added that he’s bad at ICM calculations, and then said, “I assume everyone’s rooting for me to put it in.”
Zamani assessed his own chip stack and perked up when he realized he wouldn’t be all in if he called.
“Wait? I’ll still have chips? This is exciting!”
Zamani switched gears at that point and started assessing the hand out loud.
“What could you really have here?” asked Zamani. “You definitely don’t have kings. You could have aces. You could have quads. There is also a big fuck-you factor between us.”
Zamani looked at Kenney and said, “You talked so much before when you had it, and now you’re quiet. I want to make a good fold for once, but I can’t imagine it would be a good fold.”
Zamani eventually called, and Kenney showed 
for trip jacks. Zamani mucked, and Kenney won the pot.
Zamani said, “That was part of the fuck-you factor. He could have a bunch of jacks.”
Bryn Kenney – 6,325,000 (211 bb)
Martin Zamani – 210,000 (7 bb)
