Keller On the Rise
Level 20
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
We saw the 
turn and a short stack was all in with 
only to discover the bad news in person of Christopher Keller, who snapped him off with 
.
One hand later he three-bet to 55,000 on the button and the hijack called. On the 
flop, the hijack led for 60,000 and Keller raised to 125,000. The hijack folded with about 500,000 behind and in table chat, Keller said he had pocket kings before both headed into the break.

The Christmas Present of Bart Lybaert
Level 20
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
So we were just told by the Belgian himself how he got that massive stack.
Early on he raised with

on the river for the flush. The opponent in the big blind triple-barrel-bluffed with
