Negreanu Pays off Kempe
Level 5
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
With around 15,000 in the middle and the board reading 
, 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 
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 
which was good enough to win the pot.
