Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Isaac Kempton bet 20,000 on a flop of Q♠5♦4♣ and Shaun Deeb called. Both players checked the 7♣ turn.

The river came the K♣ and Deeb led out for 45,000. "Good river for kings," Deeb said as Kempton tanked for more than a minute.

Kempton eventually slammed in a chip to signify a call. "You're going to win. I have jacks," Deeb said.

"Kings," Kempton replied, showing K♠K♦.

"I know," Deeb added.

Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Alex Foxen was seemingly unstoppable yesterday in taking the chip lead, but his massive stack was just reduced a bit at the hands of Kane Kalas.

Kalas bet 39,000 on a flop of 5♥3♥3♣ before Foxen, in the hijack, raised enough to put him all in. Kalas called for his last 160,000.

Kane Kalas: K♥K♦J♥J♠
Alex Foxen: Q♣Q♥7♦5♣

Kalas was ahead with his pair of kings and stayed in front on the 8♥ turn and 9♣ river to double up with a flush and put a small dent in Foxen's wall of chiips.

Player	Chips	Progress
Alex Foxen	2,540,000 328,000	328,000

Kane Kalas	350,000 50,000	50,000

Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Phil Ivey raised from under the gun and Steven Veneziano pushed with a short stack. Kabeelan Rajamurthy then went all-in over the top for 295,000 in the big blind and Ivey called to put two players at risk.

Steven Veneziano: K♣Q♦J♣9♠
Kabeelan Rajamurthy: 7♦6♣5♠4♠
Phil Ivey: A♠A♦9♥7♥

The 6♠5♥3♥ flop gave Rajamurthy a straight and he made that a full house with the 5♦ turn. Ivey needed an ace but only got the 2♥ river to lose a big portion of his stack.

Kabeelan Rajamurthy	725,000 425,000	425,000

Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Rick Salomon: K♦K♣8♣6♠
Bogdan Capitan: A♣A♦7♣6♥
Joao Vieira: A♠A♥8♠2♠

Salomon was up against two pairs of aces as the flop came 4♦9♥10♠. The 7♦ on the turn improved Salomon to a straight and left both opponents drawing dead.

"Well done, Rick. I see zero mistakes from you so far," tablemate Martin Kabrhel said.

The 10♣ fell on the river and Salomon tripled up.

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Three players got their chips into the middle preflopand Jim Collopy as well as Andriy Lyubovetskiy were at risk against Chance Kornuth.

Andriy Lyubovetskiy: 7♣6♥5♠4♥
Jim Collopy: A♦A♣8♣2♥
Chance Kornuth: A♠A♥K♦3♠

The 9♥9♦8♦ flop gave Lyubovetskiy a ton of outs with the low end of the wrap but the 2♠ turn and 2♦ river ensured a huge pot for Collopy with deuces-full, while Lyubovetskiy was sent to the rail.
