Rainer Kempe - 4th on Germany's all time money list - gets us going with an 11,500 open from the cutoff, Alessio Isaia - 8th on Italy's all time money list - three-bets to 33,000 from the button, Kempe increases further to 64,000 before Isaia pulls the trigger for 276,000 jam. Kempe snaps and the dealer has another player at risk.

Matt Belcher Chips Up Again

Level 5: 2,500 / 5,000 ante: 5,000

Matthew Paul Belcher

Picking up the action on the three-way flop 8♣ K♣ 7♣ and 43,500 up for grabs we see a check-around to the turn T♥ before poker legend Stephen Chidwick leads for 11,000 from UTG and finds two customers for the river 8♥ . Chidwick lays out another 16,000, Matt Belcher raises to 70,000 from the hijack, Isaia Alessio gets out of the way and Chidwick calls, who mucks after seeing Belcher flip over a boat with 7♠ 7♦ .
