Kempton Flops Set to Bubble Gumz

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Isaac Kempton
Isaac Kempton

Picking up the action on the turn on a board reading {5-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, Fabian Gumz led out with a bet and Isaac Kempton raised to 85,000. Gumz used up a time bank before calling.

Gumz checked on the {10-Hearts} river and Kempton moved all-in with Gumz significantly covered. Gumz let out a sigh and shuffled a handful of chips as he thought through his decision. Eventually, he called with his remaining stack of around 260,000.

Kempton tabled {5-Spades}{5-Hearts} for a flopped set and Gumz nodded in defeat as he left the tournament area just two players away from the money.

Despite the all in and call, the dealer never exposed Gumz' hand.
