Kempe's Two Pair Holds Up

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

With around 12,000 in the middle and the flop reading {q-Spades}{7-Spades}{5-Spades}, Tom-Aksel Bedell led out for 4,300 in the small blind. Andre Akkari called from middle position as did Rainer Kempe on the button.

The turn brought the {8-Clubs} and the action checked to Kempe who bet 5,500. Bedell called and Akkari got out of the way. The {2-Spades} on the river put four spades on the board which seized any further action. Bedell turned over {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} but Kempe flopped two pair with {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts} to claim the pot.

Meanwhile, Sean Winter was seen exiting the tournament area and Adrian Mateos was stacking his chips.
