Kempe Takes From Kurganov
Level 2
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Rainer Kempe and Igor Kurganov clashed in a three-bet pot that sent a decent portion of Kurganov's stack one seat over.
It all started with a raise to 3,000 by Kurganov in the hijack and Kempe three-bet the cutoff to 11,000, Kurganov called. The duo checked the 
flop and Kurganov check-called a bet of 15,000 on the 
turn. On the 
river, Kurganov checked once more and Kempe made it 40,000 to go.
"Oh Rainer," Kurganov sighed and paid off to get shown the 
by Kempe. That won the pot, as Kurganov mucked.
