Negreanu Pays off Kempe

Level 5 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

With around 15,000 in the middle and the board reading {k-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{k-Spades}, the action was on Rainer Kempe who bet 6,500 on the button. Daniel Negreanu check-raised to 21,000 and Kempe called.

The river brought the {5-Diamonds} and Negreanu checked again. Kempe fired 32,000 and Negreanu was stumped. After using a time extension, Negreanu ended up making the call, only to see Kempe turn over {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts} which was good enough to win the pot.
