Kempe Doubles Up

Level 4 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Rainer Kempe
Rainer Kempe

There was a substantial pot of about 930,000 already brewing and the board read {9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{A-Spades} when we got to the table. Rainer Kempe bet 160,000 from the cutoff and his lone opponent called from the button.

The {2-Clubs} fell on the river and after spending a bit of time in the tank, Kempe checked. The button jammed for about 375,000, and after some consideration, Kempe called for less and tabled {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}. His hand was good enough to win the pot against the button who held {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} so he took the chips to double up.

Luske Doubles Up

Level 5 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Marcel Luske
Marcel Luske

Partypoker Sponsored Pro Marcel Luske was in middle position and got all the chips in the middle on a {9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop against a single opponent in the small blind who had him covered.

Luske: {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}
Small blind: {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

Luske was ahead with his kings but needed to dodge his opponent's straight and flush draws in order to win the pot. Neither the {9-Spades} on the turn nor the {7-Diamonds} on the river changed anything, so Luske took the chips to double up.

Linde Loses Some

Level 5 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

With a substantial pot of about 760,000 already in the middle and the board reading {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{10-Spades}{5-Spades}{8-Hearts}, Dylan Linde bet 700,000 from the big blind to put his opponent, who was in the cutoff, to a decision for his 393,000-chip stack. He called and Linde tabled {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs} for top pair, top kicker. His opponent flipped over {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs} for a turned set, so he took the pot to double up.
