$50,000 Super High Roller (Re-Entry)
Level 13: 3,000/6,000 with a 1,000 Ante
Players Remaining: 11 of 28

Stefan Schillhabel

Kathy Lehne opened with an under-the-gun raise, and Stefan Schillhabel defended his big blind.

The flop was 8s7h5s. Schillhabel checked, Lehne continued for 30,000, and Schillhabel check-raised all in for 113,000 total. Lehne called to put him at risk.

Lehne: 9c9d (pair of nines)
Schillhabel: Jd8c (pair of eights)

The Kh turn and 7c river completed the board to no avail for Schillhabel, and he was eliminated in 11th place at the hands of Lehne.

Kathy Lehne – 550,000 (92 bb)
Stefan Schillhabel – Eliminated

Scott Seiver

Scott Seiver was lucky enough to find QhQs with just 26,000 chips left, and he got all in against Stefan Schillhabel’s AdQc.

The JdTd5c flop was mostly clean for Seiver, but the Ah turn was a disaster, giving Schillhabel the lead with a pair of aces. Seiver could not catch back up on the 5h river, and he was eliminated in 12th place.

Stefan Schillhabel – 115,000 (19 bb)
Scott Seiver – Eliminated

Super High Roller: David Cohen Eliminated by Dietrich Fast

$50,000 Super High Roller (Re-Entry)
Level 13: 3,000/6,000 with a 1,000 Ante
Players Remaining: 13 of 28

On a KdQs5s flop, David Cohen ended up all in against Dietrich Fast, and it was a bit of a cooler.

Cohen: KcQh (kings up)
Fast: QcQd (set of queens)

Cohen needed to find a king in a hurry, but the Jd turn and 4d river completed the board with blanks. He was eliminated in unlucky 13th place, sending the rest of his chips into the already mighty stack of Fast.

Dietrich Fast – 850,000 (142 bb)
David Cohen – Eliminated

Super High Roller: David Cohen Doubles Through Jake Schindler

$50,000 Super High Roller (Re-Entry)
Level 13: 3,000/6,000 with a 1,000 Ante
Players Remaining: 13 of 28

Jake Schindler opened with an under-the-gun raise, and David Cohen three-bet shoved for 77,000 in the big blind. Schindler quickly called to put Cohen at risk.

Schindler: QsQh
Cohen: AcTh

The board ran out Jd8c5dAd2h, and the ace on the turn was enough to give Cohen a come-from-behind double-up with a pair of aces.

David Cohen – 164,000 (27 bb)
Jake Schindler – 122,000 (20 bb)

Super High Roller: Dietrich Fast Takes From Erik Seidel, Leads

$50,000 Super High Roller (Re-Entry)
Level 13: 3,000/6,000 with a 1,000 Ante
Players Remaining: 13 of 28

David Cohen limped in under the gun, Dietrich Fast completed from the small blind, and Erik Seidel checked his option in the big.

All three players checked through the 9h9s2s flop, and the turn was the 3c. Fast bet 14,000, Seidel called, and Cohen folded. The river was the 4h, and Fast bet 50,000. The bet represented a significant chunk of Seidel’s remaining stack, and he toyed with the decision for a couple minutes before calling.

Fast showed 8s9c, winning the pot with trip nines and moving into the chip lead.

Dietrich Fast – 640,000 (107 bb)
Erik Seidel – 77,000 (13 bb)

Level 13: 3,000/6,000 with a 1,000 Ante
Players Remaining: 13 of 28

Kathy Lehne

Rainer Kempe opened with a raise in early position, and Kathy Lehne called in the cutoff. From the small blind, Bryn Kenney three-bet to 46,000, and that was enough to fold Kempe out of the way. Lehne four-bet shoved for 143,000 total, though, and Kenney called to put her at risk.

Lehne: AdQc
Kenney: AcJh

The board ran out safely for Lehne, coming 8s6c5h8d4h to give her a double-up.

Kathy Lehne – 313,000 (52 bb)
Bryn Kenney – 260,000 (43 bb)

Level 12: 2,500/5,000 with a 500 Ante
Players Remaining: 13 of 28

Just in the time it took to write that two-table redraw, three more players were eliminated.

Stephen Chidwick exited in 16th place, three-bet shoving with Ah5h behind a Bryn Kenney open. Kenny put him at risk with 9s9h, flopped a set on the Tc9d7s, and sealed the knockout with the 2c turn and 8c river.

Justin Bonomo was next to go. He made a straight with 4h6h and got himself all in on the river, but Jake Schindler made a better straight with 6d8d to eliminate Bonomo in 15th place.

Paul Domb, who was one of the shortest stacks in the remaining field, was eliminated in 14th place a moment later, apparently also by Schindler.
