Level 13 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Jeremy Koehler
Jeremy Koehler

Jeremy Koehler opened to 7,500 from early position and found one caller in the big blind.

The flop came {j-Hearts}{2-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and it was checked to Koehler, who continued for 12,000. His opponent tanked and eventually put in his remaining stack of around 30,000. Koehler called and hands were tabled.

Koehler: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Big blind: {q-Spades}{9-Spades}

Koehler was behind and didn't find any help on the {2-Clubs} turn, however, a {a-Diamonds} drilled the river Koehler sent his opponent to the rail.

Koehler appears to be the current tournament chip leader with about 400,000 in chips.
