Kempe Runs Out of Chips

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 400 ante

Rainer Kempe dropped to a short stack and then open-jammed the small blind to get called by an even shorter-stacked "RZStudio78".

"RZStudio78": {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Rainer Kempe: {k-Spades}{6-Diamonds}

On a board of {k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, Kempe was left with crumbs as his opponent turned a straight.

In the very next hand, Kempe was then all-in on the button and Evaldas "Man14c" Aniulis looked him up from the hijack.

Rainer Kempe: {j-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Evaldas "Man14c" Aniulis: {a-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}

The {a-Spades}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} board left Kempe drawing dead on the turn.

More for Gerritse"; "majestre" Gets Most Chips Back

Level 15 : 1,700/3,400, 340 ante

Endrit Geci raised to 6,800 and Dirk Gerritse three-bet to 25,296 from the cutoff, which "majestre" on the button called to force out Geci. Gerritse then bet the {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{6-Spades} flop for 17,700 to earn a call and did so again for 55,524 on the {5-Diamonds} turn, picking up another call.

Gerritse bet the pot for 212,000 on the {q-Hearts} river and that forced a fold.

"majestre" then limp-called a raise to 11,900 by Dominykas "MickeyMouse" Mikolaitis and led the {9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop for 10,547, which Mikolaitis called. Another bet and call for 17,508 followed on the {3-Hearts} turn and "majestre" also bet the {5-Diamonds} river for 29,064. Mikolaitis called with the {a-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} for a pair of sixes but "majestre" had that beat with 5Qh9h] for the top pair.

Okada Eliminated by Stokkan

Level 15 : 1,700/3,400, 340 ante
Okada vs Stokkan
Okada vs Stokkan

Ken "diabloking" Okada had nursed a short stack for some time and eventually jammed from the under-the-gun position. He picked up one caller on Preben Stokkan from one seat over while the rest of the table folded.

Ken "diabloking" Okada: {a-Spades}{6-Hearts}
Preben Stokkan: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}

The {q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop instantly left Okada drawing dead, which made the {10-Clubs} turn and {q-Diamonds} river a formality.

In a battle small blind versus button, "Fl0pthenuts" got it in with a pocket pair and flipped against "jackpot737".

"Fl0pthenuts": {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}
"jackpot737": {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

The {j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop gave "jackpot737" a straight and flush draw. While that missed on the {8-Diamonds} turn, the {2-Hearts} fell on the river, and that ended Day 1a for "Fl0pthenuts" earlier than they were hoping for.
