Isaac Kempton Eliminated in 18th Place ($14,269)
Two of the biggest stacks in the tournament tangled when Isaac Kempton opened from the hijack and Joey Weissman three-bet to 160,000 out of the small blind. Kempton called.
Weissman continued with a bet of 225,000 on the flop of 
and Kempton checked his cards before calling. Weissman checked on the 
turn and Kempton bet a small 200,000. Weissman called.
Weissman checked on the 
river and Kempton took a few moments before announcing all in for 885,000. Players gathered around the tabled as Weissman ate through two of his time extensions, staring down Kempton like a bird of prey as players gathered around the table. Weissman put out a chip for a call.
Kempton tabled 
in defeat to show a bluff with six-high, while Weissman tabled 
to win the pot after making a big call with second pair.
"Sick call, Joey!" table mate Todd Ivens said as Kempton left to get his payout.
The massive pot, by far the biggest of the day so far, gives Weissman a commanding chip lead over his 16 remaining opponents.
