Level 39
: 300,000/600,000, 100,000 ante
Hand #188: Joe McKeehen shoved from the small blind for a little over 2 million and Arne Kern called from the big blind to put McKeehen at risk.
Joe McKeehen: 
Arne Kern: 
McKeehen had the preflop advantage and Kern needed to improve in order to win the pot. The board ran out 
and Kern took the pot with a pair of nines to end McKeehen's deep run in this event
It's the second time McKeehen finished 3rd this series, after a third place in the $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout at the beginning of the 2018 WSOP.
