Three-Way All-In: Cemm Saved by the River
Level 15
: 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante
Action folded to start-of-day chip leader Thomas Cemm on the button and he moved all-in for about 165,000. Francois Billard re-shoved from the small blind for 204,000 and Kristen Bicknell asked for a count from the big blind before calling.
Thomas Cemm: 
Francois Billard: 
Kristen Bicknell: 
Cemm was behind and Billard and Bicknell were both in a good position to chop up his chips and send the remaining players to the final table.
The flop came 
and Cemm paired his five but both Billard and Bicknell paired their kings. The turn was the 
and now Cemm had some outs to chop. The river was the 
to give Cemm the card he needed to survive and all three players chopped the pot.
