Rainer Kempe Eliminated in 7th Place ($130,000)

Level 33 : 70,000/140,000, 140,000 ante
Rainer Kempe
Rainer Kempe

The action folded to Rainer Kempe in the cutoff who shipped all in for just under 2,000,000 chips. Tom Marchese woke up with a monster in the big blind and quickly made the call.

Tom Marchese: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Rainer Kempe: {k-Clubs}{10-Spades}

Not only did Marchese have Kempe dominated, but he also had both of his suits covered. The board ran out {7-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{7-Spades} and Marchese's ace-high held on to eliminate Kempe in seventh place.

Marquez Still Climbing

Level 33 : 70,000/140,000, 140,000 ante

Ana Marquez raised to 300,000 from under the gun and was called by Conor Beresford on the button. Freddy Deeb also came along from the big blind and the flop came {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.

Deeb and Marquez both checked to Beresford who tossed in a bet of 350,000. Deeb called and Marquez check-raised to 1,100,000. Beresford used a time extension before sliding his cards to the muck and Deeb's cards quickly followed behind.

Small Bet Gets Marchese Paid Before the Break

Level 33 : 70,000/140,000, 140,000 ante

Freddy Deeb opened to 300,000 from under the gun and Tom Marchese defended from the big blind. The flop came {7-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and both players checked to the {j-Spades} on the turn.

Marchese led out for 285,000 and Deeb called to see the {6-Hearts} on the river. Marchese made a small bet of 160,000 and Deeb found the price cheap enough to call. Marchese turned over {10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} which was good enough to beat Deeb's {a-Spades}{5-Spades}.

"Next time I'll make it a million and you won't call with ten-seven," Deeb spat. "The minimum I'm raising from now on is 500,000."

"Well the blinds are going up next hand," Marchese responded with a laugh.

The players are now heading on another 15-minute break.

Marchese "Scared to Death" Says Deeb

Level 34 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Tom Marchese raised to 550,000 from the small blind and Freddy Deeb called in the big blind.

Marchese bet 400,000 on the {5-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and Deeb raised to 1,300,000. Marchese called.

The pair checked the {2-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} runout and Marchese showed {a-Hearts}{7-Spades}. Deeb showed {j-Clubs}{8-Hearts} for a rivered pair and he took down the pot.

"Why would you call me with no pair?" asked Deeb.

"Too obvious," said Marchese.

"You should have moved all in on the turn," said Deeb. "You were scared to death!"

Up and Down for Aido

Level 34 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Sergio Aido check-called 500,000 from Freddy Deeb on the {10-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{3-Spades}{6-Clubs} turn and the river was the {8-Clubs}. Aido checked.

"Can you beat an ace?" asked Deeb before showing {a-}{7-}. Aido showed {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for a rivered flush.

"You should have said no!" said Deeb. "And I put you all in!"

Then on a {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop Aido check-called 225,000 from Tom Marchese before check-folding to 460,000 on the {5-Clubs} turn. He remains the short stack with around 20 big blinds.

Tom Marchese: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Sergio Aido: {a-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}

Freddy Deeb shot Marchese a quizzical look at the tank before the flop came {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}{j-Clubs}.

The rail was calling for some chop opportunities on the {9-Spades} turn but the river was the {10-Hearts} and he was eliminated in fifth place.

Freddy Deeb Eliminated in 4th Place ($319,200)

Level 34 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Freddy Deeb
Freddy Deeb

Tom Marchese raised to 425,000 from the small blind and Freddy Deeb thought before three-betting all in from the big blind. Marchese snap-called.

Tom Marchese: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Freddy Deeb: {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

The flop gave Deeb a pair on {7-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{9-Clubs} but he was drawing to running quads - or a chop with a straight - as Marchese flopped top set. The turn was the {2-Spades} and the river the {8-Spades} and Deeb was eliminated.

There will be a short break for the color up with three players remaining.
