Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Rainer Kempe
Rainer Kempe

With a {q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} board on the table, Rainer Kempe watched as Andreas Uribe bet 50,000 into a pot of just over that.

Kempe pushed some chips into the middle and the dealer announced that he was all in.

"Just a call," said Kempe, with his tablemates confirming that he had said call.

Uribe showed {9-Clubs}{9-Spades} and Kempe glanced at {8-}{8-} before throwing them into the muck.

"If you go all in..." said Uribe, before miming throwing away his cards.

"Maybe the dealer was trying to help you!" said tablemate Jason Mercier and the table laughed.

Shui Tian Wins a Triple All-In

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Shui Tian
Shui Tian

Kework Besiktasliyan raised to 5,500 from the under-the-gun position to be three-bet to 15,000 by Alexandre Reard. Owen Guest shoved all in from the cutoff. So did Shui Tian who had him covered in the small blind. John Phan took some time to think as he was covered by both Guest and Tian, and Besiktasliyan and Reard still had to act. In the end, he decided to go all in too. Besiktasilyan and Reard folded.

Tian: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}
Guest: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Phan: {K-Spades}{10-Spades}

The board ran out {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. The aces of Tian were the strongest in the end and she eliminated the other two players.

Lizzy Harrison Doubles Up

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

The cards were on their backs between Lizzy Harrison who held {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and her opponent Jorge Espinoza with pocket deuces {2-}{2-}.

Harrison already has one cash this summer from the Millionaire Maker where she finished 688th, and survived her all-in here with the board running out {j-Hearts}{a-Spades}{q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, giving her a flush.

Kelly Minkin Doubles Vedat Levi Up

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Kelly Minkin
Kelly Minkin

Kelly Minkin raised to 5,100 from the under-the-gun position. Vedat Levi three-bet to 11,500 from mid-position and action folded back to Minkin who called.

The flop came {4-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{8-Spades} and Minkin check-called the 11,500 bet of Levi.

The turn gave them the {J-Hearts}. Minkin now check-called the all-in shove of Levi for a total of 43,700.

Levi showed {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} for an over pair and Minkin showed {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades} for top pair. Levi needed to avoid a king or a queen to double up. The river completed the board with the {10-Diamonds}, no danger for Levi, and he took the pot.
