Chips von Kaemmerlen

Peter Kaemmerlen opened to 20,000 preflop and Michael Abdoulah defended his big blind.

The flop fell {7-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and Abdoulah check-called 26,000 from Kaemmerlen. Both players checked the {5-Hearts} on the turn and the {5-Clubs} on the river as well.

Abdoulah opened {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} for just ace-high and mucked when Kaemmerlen showed {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a pair of sevens.

Kaemmerlen started the day as one of our chip leaders, and is already up to 600,000 chips.

Weis Beyond Her Years

We're not sure when the chips went in, but either way the {5-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop and {3-Diamonds} turn can't have been that much fun for Melanie Weisner who was all in with {a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} against Enrique Leigue's {a-}{7-}. The {9-Hearts} on the river must have tasted like tournament ambrosia, though, and Weisner doubled to stay in the game on 95,000.

Double Bust-Out for Berda

Weisner
Weisner

We arrived just in time to see a three-way all-in showdown between three relatively short-stacked players.

Melanie Weisner: {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}
Viliamu Amitoelau: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Tomer Berda: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

Board: {8-Spades}{3-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}

Berda's kings held up, and he had both players covered. They hit the rail in tandem, while Berda himself is no longer really in short stack territory, on a respectable 380,000.
