Rainer Kempe Eliminated in 7th Place ($72,683)
Level 30
: 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Ilya Nikiforov opened to 400,000 from early position and Rainer Kempe moved all in on the button. Nikiforov called with the bigger stack to put Kempe at risk.
Rainer Kempe:

Kempe had run into a brutally cold deck and would need significant help to survive. No help was forthcoming on the 
flop, which left Kempe practically drawing dead. The 
turn sealed the deal prior to the meaningless 
river, sending Kempe to the rail just shy of the close of play.
It should be noted that there has been a slight schedule change, with play slated to come to a close at the end of the current level, regardless of the number of remaining players.
