Kempe Wins Big Pot Off Seidel
Timofey Kuznetsov fired two barrels against Dan Colman in a battle under the gun versus big blind and ultimately forced a fold on the 
turn when making it 59,000 to go. The clock only showed three minutes left for the level, but the next hand would last 10 minutes into the new level.
Rainer Kempe raised to 17,000 and Colman called, as did Kuznetsov in the small blind. Erik Seidel then three-bet to 58,000 in the big blind and just Kempe called.
On the 
flop, Seidel bet 45,000 and Kempe called before the 
turn saw Seidel fire a second barrel worth 100,000. Again Kempe didn't go anywhere and called again. The river completed the board and Seidel eventually checked.
Kempe stared at the board, hiding his eyes behind sunglasses, and bet 211,000. Seidel only had 290,000 left and took more than two minutes before letting go.
