Level 11 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

At one table, Rainer Kempe was all in for 98,000 after just re-entering not long ago. Chance Kornuth was his opponent and the two players were flipping. Kempe held {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} against Kornuth's {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and the board of {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{6-Clubs} allowed Kempe to double up.

Not far away, Nick Petrangelo was also all in for 114,000 and was called by Cary Katz. On a board of {q-}{q-}{10-}{10-}, Petrangelo was cheering for a three. Indeed the {3-Clubs} hit the river and Petrangelo's eight-high with {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} was good enough to beat Katz's seven-high with {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}.
