Rainer Kempe moved all in for about 375,000 in the cutoff, and Nick Petrangelo re-shoved for more than 1,300,000 in the small blind. Marvin Rettenmaier surrendered his big blind, and Kempe was heads up for his tournament life.
Kempe:
Petrangelo:
The flop was a decent start for Kempe, giving him eight outs to a straight. The turn added even more outs, giving him a pair of nines to go with that draw. The river was the blank , though, and Kempe could not catch up.
Petrangelo’s queens held to earn him the knockout pot, eliminating Kempe in seventh place. For his work over the past two days, the German pro earns the first six-figure payout of this final table.
Nick Petrangelo – 1,760,000 (29 bb)
Rainer Kempe – Eliminated in 7th place ($104,375)
