Sean Yu (left) versus Rainer Kempe (right)

Three players saw a flop of KhKs3h, it checked to Sean Yu who bet 2,500. Rainer Kempe and Jeff Banghart both called.

The turn brought the 9h, and Banghart led out 10,000. Yu got out of the way and Kempe went into the tank. The decision was for most of his stack as he only had 4,200 left.

Kempe decided to put it in and said “Guess I need help”. He did, as Banghart tabled 7h2h a flush.

Kempe turned over KdJc for trip kings. The river came Kc, the fourth king, and Kempe said “That’s help” as he raked in the pot.

Rainer Kempe – 47,000 (78 bb)
Jeff Banghart – 107,000 (178 bb)
Sean Yu – 25,400 (41 bb)
