Kempe Running Cold; Eliminated on Bubble Alongside "yoellalaska"

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Chad Holloway

Blinds: 7,000/14,000/1,750

Rainer Kempe was short, more than doubled, and then tried to parlay his still-short stack into the money. Unfortunately for him, he dwindled down to just 270 as hand-for-hand play progressed.

"Running cold," he joked in the chat.

In what would be his final hand, there were 302 players still in contention (remember, 300 would get paid) and Kempe was all in via the ante from under the gun. Chris Rudolph raised to 35,000 next to act and the rest of the players got out of the way.

Chris Rudolph: (58.87%)
Rainer Kempe: (41.13%)

Kempe was behind and things got worse when the flop gave Rudolph two pair. Neither the turn nor river helped Kempe, and he was eliminated in 302nd place.

Meanwhile, at the same time at a different table, "yoellalaska" was bounced in 301st place to officially burst the bubble. That means the remaining 300 players are each guaranteed a minimum payday of $929.62.

The final 302 players are now on their first break of the day. When they return, hand-for-hand play will resume as just two more players need to leave empty-handed before the money is made.
