Blinds: 7,000/14,000/1,750
Rainer Kempe was short, more than doubled, and then tried to parlay his still-short stack into the money. Unfortunately for him, he dwindled down to just 270 as hand-for-hand play progressed. Running cold, he joked in the chat.
In what would be his final hand, there were 302 players still in contention (remember, 300 would get paid) and Kempe was all in via the ante from under the gun. Chris Rudolph raised to 35,000 next to act and the rest of the players got out of the way.

The sixth event of the
2021 GG Spring Festival with a price tag of $25,500 has determined a champion. After a fierce heads-up battle that lasted almost one hour, it was
Ronny Kaiser who overcame
Event H-57: $25,500 Super High Roller.
The tournament drew a total of 88 entries, consisting of 48 unique players and 40 re-entries. Only the top 13 finishers earned a portion of the $2,200,000 prize pool.
Kaiser was among the last batch of re-entries before the late registration closed and survived the money bubble as one of the shorter stacks. He entered the nine-handed final table as joint shortest stack on 12 blinds but rode those to victory for a payday of $508,448.

Novak has been one of the hotter players of late online with huge scores both here on GGPoker â he snagged $91K in a recent $525 bounty in February â and in the recent WPT500 with a second-place finish worth $123K.
Here, Novak had the second-biggest stack to start the final table and grabbed two of the first three KOs to take the lead.
However,
Ami Barer put together a strong stretch as well. One of the highest-volume players with several million in cashes on GGPoker, Barer looked to be in a great position to snag the win as he had about two-thirds of the chips three-handed after winning a flip worth more than 50 big blinds total to bust
