Kempson Back in the Lead
Level 28
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Edison Nguyen opened the button, Dennis Huntly flat-called the small blind and Corey Kempson then three-bet an extra 415,000 from the big blind. After a few moments, Nguyen moved his big stack all in. Huntly took just a couple of moments before folding and then Kempson snap-called and triumphantly tabled 
. Nguyen flipped over his 
and the dealer readied three cards.
Flop: 
Kempson roared in celebration, turned to his rail, then returned to the table to sweat the turn as Nguyen now had a straight draw.
Turn: 
Kempson had filled up!
The 
river changed nothing and with that, Kempson was up to just under 5,000,000. Nguyen is now the short stack!
