Broadway on Board

Level 8 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Rainer Kempe got his stack of 272,000 all in preflop and was in a big flip for his tournament life against Alex Foxen, who barely had him covered.

Kempe: {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}
Foxen: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Kempe was ahead but not after the {q-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{j-Clubs} flop paired Foxen. The {10-Diamonds} turn improved Foxen to a Broadway straight, and Kempe was looking for an ace on the river just to chop. Fortunately for him, he got it when the {a-Diamonds} peeled off.
