Schillhabel Gets There Against Kenney

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Out of the small blind, Stefan Schillhabel moved all in and Bryn Kenney in the big blind asked for a count. The all in was for 89,0000 and Kenney called after brief consideration.

Stefan Schillhabel: {Q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Bryn Kenney: {K-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

"Good call," Schillhabel said with a dry smile and saw the board run out {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} to improve on the turn.

Orpen Kisacikoglu and Benjamin Pollak were less fortunate and busted at almost the same time on different tables. Only 47 players remain out of a field of 112 entries.
