Kamphues Survives on the River
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Mikhail Shalamov opened from the hijack to 100,000 and Timo Kamphues three-bet the cutoff to 275,000. When the action got back to Shalamov, he shoved, and Kamphues called off his last 115,000.
Timo Kamphues: A?Q? 
Mikhail Shalamov: 7?7?
Kamphues needed to win a flip to remain in the Main Event but didn't get off to a good start as the flop of 4?3?K? kept the pocket sevens of Shalamov in the lead. The K? turn offered no help, but the A? fell on the river, which meant Kamphues survived at the last possible moment.
