Kempe and Bonomo Chop It Up

Level 2 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

On the {7-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Spades}{5-Spades}{6-Hearts} river, Justin Bonomo fired a bet worth 30,000 and Rainer Kempe called after very brief consideration. The German must have hated the final community card though, as it spoiled a big payday. Kempe had the {6-Spades}{4-Hearts} and Bonomo the {A-Spades}{4-Diamonds} with both players chopping the pot.

Troyanovskiy's Jacks no Good

Level 2 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

With already 70,000 chips in the middle, Vladimir Troyanovskiy checked the {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{4-Clubs} turn and then called a bet worth 33,000 by Stephen Chidwick. The Brit checked behind a {5-} river and showed pocket queens, Troyanovskiy had pocket jacks and lost a decent chunk of his stack early on.

The Next Four Entries

Level 2 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Petrangelo First to Exit

Level 2 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

The first elimination has taken place and the cards were all but rushed away. Paul Newey confirmed that a raising war took place between Michael Bonzon and Nick Petrangelo. The latter had {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts} and got his stack in after a flop of {9-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}. Bonzon however snapped him off with pocket aces and the board blanked out with the {K-Hearts} turn and {3-Spades} river.

A single re-entry is available until around 5 p.m. local time, so Petrangelo may rejoin the competition once again.
