Corey Kempson raised to 1,000 from the cutoff. Dmitriy Tymoshenko called from the button and was followed by Michael Egan in the small blind. Raman Shaqiri then moved all in for 22,900 from the big blind. Kempson slid out a stack of 5,000-chips signifying a raise which forced a fold from Tymoshenko and Egan.

Shaqiri: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Kempson: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {3-Spades}{5-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, improving Shaqiri to a higher pair on the flop, keeping him in the tournament.

"It's about time I got some redemption off you, sir," said Shaqiri to Kempson after the hand.

"I was just about to rebuy back in," Shaqiri added.

"I run back from the restroom and get dealt queens," sighed Kempson.
