Kempe Doubles Through Seidel
Level 23
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Rainer Kempe open-raised to 205,000 on the button and both opponents folded. Dan Colman joked "that is the perfect raise size," and Kempe shot back with a grin and "that is what a three-nine would do."
Right after, Erik Seidel open-shoved from the small blind and Kempe double-checked his cards in the big blind before calling.
Rainer Kempe: 
Erik Seidel: 
The board ran out 
and Kempe dodged the straight draw on the turn to double for 430,000. "Nut flush?!" Seidel added and Kempe glanced back at the board. "Oh, I didn't even see that," Kempe replied and moved back into the big stack while Seidel was left with 10 big blinds.
