Kenney Doubles Through Chewy

Level 14 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Andrew Lichtenberger raised from under the gun to 52,000. Sandor Demjan flatted from the next seat and then action folded to Bryn Kenney on the button. He reraised all in for 355,000. Lichtenberger reshoved and that knocked Demjan out of the way. After it took a minute for Demjan to fold, he showed that he was laying down two jacks.

Lichtenberger: {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}
Kenney: {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}

The board ran out {7-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and Kenney doubled up. Lichtenberger was left with about 600,000 in chips.

Colin Can Not

Level 13 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Bryan Colin
Bryan Colin

Bryan Colin was in late position with a short stack, and he got his last ~160,000 chips into the middle with {6-Clubs} {6-Spades}. Tobias Reinkemeier didn't have many more chips than that, but he went with {A-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}.

Colin hated the {2-Spades} {10-Hearts} {3-Spades} flop that put him in a big hole, and the {J-Spades} turn and {9-Diamonds} river could not dig him out of it. Colin is out in 12th place, and Reinkemeier has nearly doubled up to about 340,000.

Pimenta Gone

Level 13 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Caio Pimenta
Caio Pimenta

Vivek Rajkumar just sent Caio Pimenta to the rail. Pimenta was all in preflop with pocket jacks and up against the {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} for Rajkumar.

After the board ran out {9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{7-Clubs}, Pimenta was eliminated. He was met with the embrace of his girlfriend/wife who was very emotional about Pimenta busting out.

Kenney Doubles

Level 13 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Bryn Kenney moved all in for 185,000 from the cutoff seat and Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu made the call from the small blind.

Kenney: {A-Spades}{6-Clubs}
Negreanu: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

The flop gave Kenney the lead when the {A-Hearts}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts} fell. From there, his two pair held up as the turn brought the {3-Hearts} and the river the {9-Spades}. He's now back to just under 400,000.

Level 13 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Tobias Reinkemeier
Tobias Reinkemeier

We picked up the action on the turn as the board showed {K-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {6-Hearts}. Action was heads up with about 150,000 chips in the pot, and Tobias Reinkemeier checked. Eugene Katchalov fired out 105,000 chips, and he was eventually called to bring the two men went to the final card.

It was the {A-Clubs}, and Katchalov fired another 165,000 chips at the pot. Reinkemeier called quickly this time, but the news was not good. He showed up {A-Hearts} {Q-Spades}, but his two pair was bested by Katchalov's {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds} -- top two.

Katchalov is back close to 800,000 now, while Reinkemeier (the start-of-day chip leader) is all the way down to just 170,000.
