Double Bubble?
Meanwhile...
Across the room, Mikko Turtiainen made a raise to 12,500 in early position, and Antonin Teissere moved all in for 66,000 total. Turtainen asked for a count before making the call to put the Frenchman at risk.
Two players were now in danger of bubbling, though Kahlmeyer would be guaranteed a payday if Teisseire were to lose his final hand. Teisseire would need Kahlmeyer to go broke and win his own hand in order to assure himself of a cash.
Table Kahlmeyer was the first to play the hand out since the all-in player had more chips than Teisseire. Kahlmeyer tabled , poised for a crucial double up against de Korver's . The flop, though, was a disaster. It came out to give de Korver top pair and a flush draw. The turn opened the door a crack, but the on the river slammed it right back shut, eliminating him from the tournament and leaving him sweating the action across the room.
Back to Table Teisseire, and we see Turtiainen table . Teisseire had no intentions of going broke as he proudly turned up . The board ran out , and that does indeed spell a double up for the big guy.
Tim Kahlmeyer has unfortunately become the bubble boy here in Prague. We play on with 80 players who are now all guaranteed a payday this week.
