Kempe No More for Now
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Julian Thomas had won a bigger pot while Rainer Kempe dropped to a short stack. Kempe then took on Gaelle Baumann in a duel button versus big blind. On the 
river, Baumann checked and Kempe announced a bet of 10,900 while he had 11,000 at his disposal.
Baumann called and tabled her 
already, thinking it was an all-in showdown as Kempe had moved forward all his eleven T-1,000 chips. "I get 100 back," Kempe told the dealer and was able to muck his cards since it was in fact no all-in showdown.
Kempe survived the next showdown but ultimately bowed out shortly after.
