Kempe’s Full House Not Big Enough
On a board of [7hJs8h] [8c], big blind Rainer Kempe bet 20,000. Michael Del Vecchio folded from under the gun but the player on the button called.
The [8d] on the river made for trips on the board and Kempe bet 25,000. The button called and won with his [TcTs] as Kempe showed [6c6s].
Kempe busted the Super High Roller earlier today, and now sits on a 950,000 stack in the Main Event.

Price Can’t Call
From the big blind, having seen the flop go checked through, Price checked once more on a board reading [TdJs8s] [9d]. His opponent in the cutoff bet 20,000 and Price called. The [5c] on the river saw Price check a third time. His opponent bet 55,000 and this time Price folded.

Nice Pot for Kiles
With the board reading [9s9hTs] [Ac], we saw the player in the cutoff check. Cassio Kiles on the button bet 15,000 and his neighbor called.
The [Ad] completed the board and the cutoff checked once more. Kiles bet 60,000 and received an instant-call.
Kiles showed [KdTd] and the cutoff mucked.
Despite winning the pot, Kiles is still down for the day sitting on a stack of 500,000.

Over Bet Works for Dzivielevski
We only got there on the river but the pot was sizable enough for us to take an interest. With [QsThQc] [4d] [5c] on the board, the pot was already at 321,000.
Yuri Dzivielevski, seated in early position, tanked for a bit before he bet a hefty 500,000. His opponent in the cutoff didn’t waste much time folding.
Bracelet winner Dzivielevski is up to 1.1 million in chips.

Price’s Big Bet Bluff Fails
When we arrived, the board was already out in a battle of the blinds. With the board reading [5d3sQd] [4s] [Kc], the small blind checked to Oliver Price in the big blind.
Price bet 59,000 into a pot of 55,000.
The small blind thought about it for a bit and said “Nice bet!” before he eventually called.
Price indicated he didn’t have much, but his neighbor wasn’t showing his cards just yet.
Price eventually showed [6c9d] for the missed straight draw. The small blind tabled [Qc8h] for second pair and took down the pot.
