Kemp Crippled

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Neil Channing ran into Saidal Wardak's set a few hands ago. Thus it was only fair that he should flop his own. He was in the big blind and called a raise to 24,000 from Jai Kemp. The flop came down {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

{J-Spades}

{2-Clubs}

and brought a bet of 20,000 from Channing. Kemp called. Both players checked the {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

turn. On the {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

river, Channing bet 45,000. Kemp made the call, then shook his head in disappointment when Channing showed pocket threes for a set of threes. He tabled his own hand -- pocket tens -- then counted out the chips necessary to pay off his call.

That left Kemp with just 30,000. He's now in danger of being the first player eliminated from the final table.
