Kraemer Can't Finish Levy

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Itai Levy
Itai Levy

Jesse Yaginuma opened under the gun to 125,000, and Mackenzie Kraemer flatted in the cutoff before Itai Levy ripped all in for 880,000. Yaginuma got out of the way, and Kraemer snap-called.

Itai Levy: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Mackenzie Kraemer: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

Kraemer had set the trap perfectly, and the flop came {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}, which didn't connect with either player, but Levy had picked up a gutshot straight draw.

The turn was the {3-Spades}, changing nothing but the {8-Spades} on the river had Levy's rail howling when he rivered a set.

Kraemer Rivers Two Pairs

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Itai Levy raised under the gun to 125,000 and only Mackenzie Kraemer made the call on the button.

The dealer spread a flop of {j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and both players checked. On the {6-Spades} turn, Levy fired out a bet of 180,000 and Kraemer called.

The river was the {9-Hearts} and Levy slowed down with a check before Kraemer put in a bet of 225,000. Levy tanked for around 30-seconds and decided on the call.

Kraemer tabled {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for two pairs on the river and Levy looked disgusted as he stood up and threw the cards into the muck in disbelief.

Thomas Vanden Berge Eliminated in 14th Place ($17,141)

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Thomas Vanden Berge
Thomas Vanden Berge

Thomas Vanden Berge had just lost a big pot when he flopped the nut flush draw against Jeremy Malad's king-high flush draw. Malad went running two pairs on the turn river to double up and left Vanden Berge short-stacked.

A couple of hands later Vanden Berge had to put in the big blind ante and the big blind, which he had just enough to cover as he was all in. The action folded around to Jonas Mackoff who raised to 120,000 and the small blind quickly folded.

Thomas Vanden Berge: {a-Spades}{4-Hearts}
Jonas Mackoff: {a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

Vanden Berge was dominated and the flop came {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}{5-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, both making a pair of aces but Mackoff connecting with both cards for two pair. Vanden Berge was sent to the payout desk in 14th Place for $17,141.
