Jacks for Kempe

Level 3 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

On the flop of {2-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{3-Clubs} with 32,000 in the middle, Keith Tilston checked the cutoff and Rainer Kempe bet 11,000.

Tilston called, and checked the {Q-Spades} on the turn as Kempe fired out 22,000. Tilston again made the call as the river of the {8-Clubs} checked through.

Tilston tabled his {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs}, but it would be Kempe's {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs} that would see him pushed the pot.
