Rainer Kempe

Rainer Kempe raised to 1,700 from under the gun, Darryll Fish called from the next seat over, the player in the hijack called, and the player in the cutoff three-bet to 5,000. Kempe four-bet to 14,300, Fish folded, the hijack folded, the player in the cutoff five-bet shoved for about 37,000, and Kempe called.

Kempe showed KcKs, leading his opponent’s JhJc.

The board came down 5s5c4c7s3s, safe for Kempe to score the elimination.

Rainer Kempe – 143,000 (179 bb)
