Kebe Doubles in Sick Hand
Level 33
: 100,000/200,000, 25,000 ante
Sonny Franco folded his button and Jimmy Kebe only had 7,5 big blinds left. He twisted two green 25,000 chips as if they were a cookie before he splashed all the chips in the middle again. Robert asked how much it was but he called before he got an answer.
Robert immediately tabled 
and Kebe waited about twenty seconds before tabling 
.
The flop was 
and Kebe was suddenly freerolling to double up. The turn was the 
and the river was the 
and Kebe hit his flush to double up. Stacks are a bit more even now but Robert is still the chip leader of the tournament with three players left.

Small Break
Level 33
: 100,000/200,000, 25,000 ante
The players decided to take a small break but they are already back in their seats.
Jimmy KGB
Level 33
: 100,000/200,000, 25,000 ante
Jimmy Kebe is slowly turning into Jimmy KGB. Kebe just impersonated Teddy KGB, one of the main characters from the movie Rounders, as he splashed the pot twice.
Both of the times there was a raise from the button from Julien Robert and Kebe proceeded with the words ''all in'' before splashing all his chips over the table and telling Robert in a very Teddy KGBish accent ''You have nothing my friend''.
