Simon Kenna - Out in last hand of Day 1a

In an all action hand, Matt Dale raises to 4500, James Gawen re-pops to 10k and Simon Kenna goes all in for just over 25k.

Matt faces a tough decision but folds and afterwards says he folded queens (and with one coming on the river that was a strong but ultimately disappointing fold for him.

James calls the re-raise all in however and shows AA against Simon’s AK. the rockets hold up and Simon is out.

Play has now ended for Day 1A – chip counts to follow.
