The turn was the {A-Spades}. Berkey checked, Marchese bet about 150,000, and Berkey called.

The river was the {10-Spades} and Berkey checked again. Marchese bet 384,000 and after a few moments Berkey called.

Perkins Holds

Level 13 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante

Bill Perkins open-shoved the button for 390,000 and Rainer Kempe made the call from the big blind, having him barely covered.

It was Perkins' {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} versus Kempe's {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} in another classic race with Perkins even improving through the {4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} board to double through.

Kempe is now short and will likely be looking to shove.

Peters Eliminated By Perkins

Level 13 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante

Dan Smith raised to 27,000 and after David Peters shoved his last 47,000 in the middle, Bill Perkins came all in over the top for 417,000.

Smith folded and Peters' tournament life was riding on the {k-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} versus Perkins' dominating {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}.

The board rolled out {4-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and Perkins stayed ahead the whole way, dispatching Peters to the rail.

Rast Goes Broke

Level 13 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante

Brian Rast raised the button to 27,000, Kathy Lehne called in the small blind, and Dan Smith made it 90,000 from the big blind.

Rast shoved in for 575,000 total and after Lehne folded, Smith spent two time bank chips contemplating the call. Eventually he made it with the {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}, and was dominating Rast's {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}.

The board rolled out {8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{8-Spades}{4-Clubs} sending the 2015 Super High Roller Bowl champ to the rail and Smith to a spot at or near the top of the counts.
