Cada, Ramage Healthy Thanks to Kahlmayer

Tim Kahlmayer put an end to Jordan “iMs0lucky0″ Morgan’s tournament early in the day when his pocket queens bested Morgan’s A
K. But all of Kahlmayer’s chips were shipped to P5ers in Level 25 and the German was sent out the door.
First it was Grayson “gray31″ Ramage who put a huge dent in Kahlmeyer’s stack. With the blinds at 20K/40K with a 5K ante, Ramage raised to 100K on the button. Kahlmeyer re-raised to 325K from the small blind and it folded back to Ramage, who moved all in for 1.2 million total. Kahlmeyer snap-called:
Ramage: K
K
Kahlayer: A
K
Kahlmayer picked up some additional outs when the flopped rolled out 532, but the 7 turn and 8 river allowed Ramage’s kings to hold up and he doubled up to around 2.5 million.
Kahlmeyer was left with 800K after the hand and the rest went to Joe “jcada99″ Cada when Kahlmayer moved all-in preflop holding AQ to Cada’s AK. Cada’s hand held as the board ran out 9833K and he chipped up to 3.8 million. He’s been building on that since then and our best estimates have it at aroun 4 million chips.
Nick “fu_15″ Maimone’s nice run of cards continued in Level 25. A player opened for a raise in late position and Maimone called from the big blind. The flop came down K85 and Maimone checked to the initial raiser who fired 150K. Maimone called and the two saw the turn fall T. Nick led out for 235K and his opponent called. The river brought the 6 to complete the flush and Nick led out for 400K. His opponent thought for a couple of minutes, alternating between throwing the chips to call in the middle and mucking his cards, before he folded his A-K face up.
“Wow!” Nick exclaimed. “Just…wow.” He then flipped up his TT for a turned set of tens, clearly miffed he couldn’t get paid off on his river bet. He is still in great shape though with 4.4 million chips.
Clayton “Clayton_27″ Newman was left with just 900K after taking a major blow at the ESPN featured table. Newman called Thai Tran’s all in preflop with AK and was in excellent shape against Tran’s AQ… that is until the T42 gave Tran a flush draw to make it interesting. The 9 turn changed nothing, but a painful 8 on the river sent a 2 million chip pot of to Tran. Newman and the rest of the table have since been moved out of the featured stage as their table broke.
