Green Busts Emmett

Level 6 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Brian Green opened for 7,000 on the button and Randall Emmett made it 21,000 in the small blind. No sooner had Emmett's chips hit the felt than Green reraised all in for about 120,000 total. Emmett called after about 15 seconds.

Emmett: {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Green: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

Emmett was as crushed as could be, and the {q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{9-Diamonds} board had him dead on fourth. He headed to the cashier's cage to reenter.

Rainer Kempe
Rainer Kempe

Rainer Kempe was getting a double counted out from the button with {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} in front of him on a board of {5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}. Ryan Leng filled us in, saying he had limped from middle position, Kempe limped along, and Brian Rast made it 14,500 in the small blind. Kempe shoved for 76,500 and Rast called with {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}, being turned dead on a beat that cost him about a third of his chips.
