Event 3 Champion Chris Kennedy

In the first hand of heads-up play, Dale Schmitz got it all in from the big blind for 50,000, and both players turned over their cards.

Chris Kennedy:  Jh8h8d7c
Dale Schmitz:  10c9s3d3c

The board came AsKdJd8c3h, and Schmitz briefly praised the three on the river (which gave him a set of threes), until Kennedy pointed out that he had turned a set of eights.

Neither player had a qualifying low, so Kennedy won the pot — and the title and the trophy — with a set of eights.

Congratulations to Chris Kennedy!
