Rainer Kempe made the final table of this event a year ago and is already looking like a force in this tournament after getting a double-up on Level 3.
Kempe was on the button and all in for his last 57,300 against an opponent in the big blind. The small blind, who called Kempe's original raise before the big blind shoved, thought about the decision for a moment before folding.
Rainer Kempe: 
Big Blind: 
"No pair versus pair. I know which one is going to win," Daniel Negreanu said after both players turned over their hands. The board ran out 
, no help to the big blind, and Kempe dragged in the pot.

A player in late position opened to 700 and Phil Ivey three-bet to 3,000 on the button. The blinds got out of the way to send the action back to the late position player who, after some thought, opted to call.
On the 
flop the late position player checked to Ivey, who continued for 2,000. That bet was not enough to shed his opponent, who made the call.
The late position player checked for a second time on the 
turn and Ivey, in no mood to slow down, fired off 3,400. His opponent reluctantly folded, tossing her 
holding face up into the middle and saying "nice hand" to send the small pot the ten time bracelet winner's way.
