Rainer Kempe Bursts the Money Bubble

Level 16 : 7,000/14,000, 14,000 ante

Jake Schindler opened to 32,000 from the hijack. Rainer Kempe counted out his chips while scoping out the other table before he shipped all in for 200,000 in the cutoff. The action folded back around to Schindler who made the call.

Jake Schindler: {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}
Rainer Kempe: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

Kempe found himself flipping for his tournament life on the bubble. The flop came {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and the German pro was in dire straits with Schindler holding the best hand and a flush draw. The {4-Clubs} on the turn sealed the deal and insignificant {10-Spades} completed the board. Kempe was eliminated on the money bubble and the remaining 10 players are all guaranteed at least $20,100.
