Spindler Triples

Level 14 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Jason Mercier raised to 16,000, Benny Spindler called all in from the small blind, and Scott Seiver called from the big blind.

On the {10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop, Seiver and Mercier checked. The turn was the {8-Diamonds}, and both checked again to see the {2-Diamonds} land on the river. Both checked a final time.

Spindler showed the {J-Hearts}{9-Spades} for a flopped straight, and he won the pot to triple up.

Reinkemeier Doubles; Spindler Crippled

Level 14 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Jason Mercier raised to 16,000 from the cutoff seat, and then Tobias Reinkemeier reraised all in for 195,000 from the small blind. In the big blind, Benny Spindler moved all in for only a little bit more, and Mercier folded.

Spindler showed the {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}, but Reinkemeier had him beat with the {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{7-Spades}, and Reinkemeier doubled up. Spindler was left super short with just 15,000 in chips.

Schemion Out 10th

Level 14 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

The action folded to a short-stacked Ole Schemion, who open-shoved for 57,000 on the button. Dan Smith called out of the small blind, and the action was on Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier in the big blind.

"All in," he said with a furrowed brow.

Smith shot up out of his chair to examine Mercier's stack, but the Team Pro didn't move his hands to allow Smith to examine his chips.

"I have you covered," he said simply.

"Congratulations on that," Smith returned, picking his cards up and dumping them in the muck.

Mercier: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Schemion: {8-Clubs}{7-Spades}

Mercier's hand held up as the flop, turn, and river came {2-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{5-Spades}{9-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, and Schemion hit the rail in 10th place.

The remaining nine players will redraw to a final table, where one player will walk away empty-handed.

Two All-In Hands, But No Busts

Level 14 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

There was just an all-in confrontation on each table in the 2014 Aussie Millions AU$25,000 Challenge, but no one busted out.

On one of the hands, Tobias Reinkemeier doubled through Dan Shak. On the other hand, Scott Seiver had the {A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} versus Ole Schemion's {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}. Schemion was at risk, but the two players chopped the pot after the {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} rolled out.

Smith Beats Schemion

Level 13 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Action folded to Ole Schemion in the small blind, and he completed the bet. Instead of checking his option, Dan Smith raised to 16,000 out of the big blind. Schemion called.

The flop came down {J-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, and both players checked to see the {8-Clubs} land on the turn. Schemion led with a bet of 20,000, and Smith called.

The river was the {3-Hearts}, and Schemion led for 38,500. Smith called.

Schemion showed the {A-Hearts}{5-Clubs} for just ace high. Smith tabled the winner with the {A-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for a pair of eights.
