Jared Mahoney raised it up to 500,000 from the button and Rainer Kempe pushed all in. Mahoney went in the tank and finally called.

Mahoney: {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Rainer: {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

The flop was magnificent. The dealer swiped {9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs} across the table to give Rainer two pairs but Mahoney the flush draw to go with his ace overcard.

When the {j-Clubs} hit the turn, Mahoney took the lead with a flush and Rainer was drawing to a nine or seven for a full house.

The river was the {5-Clubs} and Mahoney scooped up the big pot, eliminating Rainer in third place for $195,940.

Kempe Spikes It

Level 34 : 125,000/250,000, 25,000 ante

Darryll Fish pushed all in and got snap-called by Rainer Kempe to put himself at risk, and the two players flipped over their cards.

Fish: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Kempe: {j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

Kempe needed lots of help to catch up to Fish's cowboys, and the flop of {j-Spades}{6-Spades}{k-Clubs} was a start, giving Kempe one smaller pair. He needed another pair or trips to steal the win.

The turn was the {5-Spades} and Kempe needed a jack or a ten to win the hand. The river was the {10-Diamonds} and the crowd erupted as Kempe hit two pairs and earned the double-up.

Fish Doubles to Retake the Lead

Level 34 : 125,000/250,000, 25,000 ante

Jared Mahoney raised his button to 500,000 and Darryll Fish pushed all in from the small blind. Rainer Kempe when in the tank, madly shuffling his chips as he thought through his decision in front of the red WPT lights.

Eventually, Kempe called and Mahoney quickly mucked his cards.

Fish: {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Mahoney: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

They were set for a race, but the flop of {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs} was huge for Fish, giving him two pairs. The turn of {3-Hearts} was a blank, and the {k-Spades} river further improved Fish to a full house.

Fish picked up the double and regained the chip lead.

Mahoney Gets It In Behind

Level 33 : 100,000/200,000, 25,000 ante

Jared Mahoney made a raise to 600,000 and Darryll Fish three-bet to 1,275,000. With action back on Mahoney, he pushed all in and Fish snap-called.

Mahoney: {7-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Fish: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Fish was the big favourite and became even more so on the flop of {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} for top pair. The turn was the {3-Hearts} to allow Mahoney the flush outs, and the river card was the {2-Hearts} to complete the flush.

Mahoney made the unlikely running heart cards to hit the flush and double up to chip leader.
