Stephen Chidwick

Rainer Kempe opened to 13,000 in early position, and Stephen Chidwick three-bet shoved for 127,000 next to act. Adrian Mateos was next up, and he called to put Chidwick at risk. When it folded back around to Kempe, he re-shoved for about 225,000 total, and Mateos called the remainder to put both opponents at risk.

Kempe: KcKh
Chidwick: TsTc
Mateos: QdQh

The Qc9h7c flop gave Mateos a set of queens and a big lead with two cards to come. The Jc turn made things pretty interesting, though, giving both of his opponents plenty of chance to catch up. Kempe needed a club to stay alive, while Chidwick was looking for an eight or a king. The river was the blank 5d, though, giving Mateos the biggest pot of the tournament so far.

Rainer Kempe

Chidwick officially finished in eighth place, Kempe in seventh, and the six remaining players arrived at the direct money bubble. Mateos is the chip leader by a significant margin.

Adrian Mateos – 775,000 (129 bb)
Rainer Kempe – Eliminated
Stephen Chidwick – Eliminated
