Three Outer On the River Saves Bryn Kenney

From under the gun, Alex "AJKHoosier1" Kamberis raised to 11,000. Nam Le raised from behind to 35,000 and Bryn Kenney moved all in from the big blind for 126,000. Kamberis folded and Nam Le made the call.

Le: {K-Hearts} {K-Clubs}
Kenney: {A-Hearts} {K-Spades}

The board came {7-Spades} {5-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} giving Kenney a rivered pair of aces to take the pot and double up.

Kenney - 270,000
Le - 63,000

Kopp Handcuffed

Ken Lennaard and Billy Kopp got tangled in a raised pot preflop, and the first three community cards brought {J-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {8-Hearts}. After another raising skirmish, Lennaard ended up all in for about 165,000. Kopp had a second-place stack, and he made the call to put Lennaard at risk.

Kopp tabled {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts}, but Lennaard was looking to double up with {A-Spades} {A-Clubs}. The {A-Hearts} that landed on fourth street locked up aces full and that huge double up. He's traded stacks with Kopp now, 330,000 to 150,000.

Kahlmeyer Eighty-Sixed

Tim Kahlmeyer and Eric "basebaldy" Baldwin saw a heads-up flop bring {Q-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {3-Clubs}. Kahlmeyer was first to act, and he fired out a bet of 12,000. Baldwin raised to 29,000, and Kahlmeyer moved all in. Baldwin quickly called with a similar stack.

Showdown
Kahlmeyer: {8-Clubs} {6-Clubs}
Baldwin: {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds}

Baldwin had the overpair, but his opponent had a pair and a flush draw to work with. The turn was a raggy {2-Spades}, and the {7-Hearts} that completed the board was a safe blank as well. When the chips were counted down, both players had exactly 103,500 in front of them. That means Baldwin has doubled up and Kahlmeyer is officially down to the felt.

Tony Cousineau
From the high jack Tony Cousineau raised. The big blind, Davidi Kitai reraised pot and Tony Cousineau then came over the top for all his chips. Kitai called.

Kitai: {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}
Cousineau: {A-Diamonds} {A-Clubs}

Cousineau was looking good to double up. Then the window card came on the flop.

{K-Hearts} . "GOD!" Cousineau exclaimed.

The board completed {K-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {10-Hearts} eliminating Cousineau from the tournament.

I Am Woman

Kathy Liebert has just made her way toward the door with all of her belongings, a pretty fair sign that she's been eliminated.

That leaves Vanessa Rousso as the last woman standing in Event #45.

Brummelhuis Steamrolling

Just before the break...

Andrew Feldman opened with a raise to 7,500 in middle position. In the cutoff, Michiel Brummelhuis made the call, and Tommy Chen reraised to 23,500 from the small blind. Feldman ducked out, but big stack Brummelhuis came along to the flop.

It showed up {Q-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}. Chen continued out with a bet of 20,200, and Brummelhuis called right away. The turn and river came {5-Clubs} and {6-Diamonds} respectively with the two men check-checking it down. Chen tabled {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts} for the miss, and Brummelhuis' {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs} was good enough to take it down.

Michiel Brummelhuis is picking up right where he left off yesterday, taking control of this event. He currently holds a massive chip lead with 546,000. We can't spot anyone within 200,000 chips of him!
