3rd) Tyler Kenney ($213,600)

(Hand #104) Level 31: 60,000-120,000, 20,000 ante

Tyler Kenney min-raises from the button to 240,000, Mike Eskandari reraises from the small blind to 760,000, and Kenney tanks for nearly a minute before he moves all in for 3,535,000.
Eskandari snap-calls with 77, and Kenney turns over A2. Kenney needs to improve to stay alive.
The board comes J9539, and the pocket sevens hold up for Eskandari to win the pot and eliminate Tyler in third place.

Seat 4.  Tyler Kenney  -  Out in 3rd Place  ($213,600)

(4th) Taylor McFarland ($145,640)

Hand #66: Level 30: 50,000-100,000, 10,000 ante

Tyler Cornell moves all in for 1,000,000, Harry Arutyunyan calls from the button (using a single 1M plaque), and Taylor McFarland moves all in over the top for 1,310,000.

Arutyunyan calls, and they turn up their cards (listed in descending order of chip counts):

Harry Arutyunyan:  A10
Taylor McFarland:  QQ
Tyler Cornell:  KJ

The board comes A9322, and Arutyunyan pairs his ace on the flop to win the entire pot and eliminate two players in one hand.

Cornell had fewer chips at the start of the hand than McFarland, so he finishes in fifth place, and McFarland finishes fourth.

Harry Arutyunyun took the chip lead for one brief hand. But Mike Eskandari is back in front once again at the #WPTLegends final table.
