Kempe Joins the Field

Level 4 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Rainer Kempe
Rainer Kempe

Among Spanish players and Pokercode community fans from Germany and Austria, one big name just arrived.

Super High Roller player Rainer Kempe took his seat close to Sebastian Schulze. After losing some small pots, he finally won one.

The under-the-gun player limped and Kempe just called from the hijack while the big blind checked.

On the flop 38A, all players checked.

On the turn 10, the first limper decided to bet 2,000, his opponents both called.

On the river 5, both the big blind and under-the-gun players checked and Kempe thought for a while before checking back.

With 108, Kempe showed the winning hand to come back to around 40,000 chips.
