The German high roller held A ♠ 9 ♣ and found no help on the 7 ♥ 6 ♥ 3 ♥ 3 ♦ 8 ♠ runout. Kempe three-bet shoved just under 22 big blinds over Rheem's open, and the Californian snapped it off with K ♥ K ♦. After Dennis Stevermer doubled through him early on with ace-king against 7 ♦ 6 ♥, Kempe's bounty went to Rheem. Kempe was the last remaining shooting star in the event and went down in sixth despite his solid stack to start the final table. Rheem was seeking to set a new record with four WPT titles. The stacked final table kicked off with everyone looking way, way up at three-time WPT champ Chino Rheem, who had 133 blinds for nearly a 3-1 lead over second-place Rainer Kempe, according to the live updates. Sexton, a Poker Hall of Famer and lead WPT commentator, booked his third cash in recent WPT events after making two final tables since November, including his win at WPT Montreal. Former champ Taylor Paur, Tom Marchese, Koray Aldemir, Bryan Piccioli, Charlie Carrel, Jason Les, Mike Sexton, David Williams and Sergio Aido were some of the players who made the money. WPT Bay 101 Shooting Star, which featured $2,500 bounties on specially tabbed "shooting stars," paid 81 places.
