Defending Champ Loses a Flip
Level 8
: 400/800, 800 ante
Arne Kern was in the big blind, facing a raise from the button and a three-bet shove for 18,700 from the small blind. Kern slid a pile of chips in front of him to force the opener out.
Kern would have prefered a high board with 
versus 
but he didn't get one as the 
runout remained safe for the paired hand. Kern doubled his opponent but he still maneuvers a solid stack of around 65,000.
