Level 9 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante
Rainer Kempe
Rainer Kempe

The flop read {2-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Hearts} and Rainer Kempe had bet 8,000. Dario Sammartino shoved all in for 44,900. After the dealer had confirmed the amount, Kempe called.

Dario Sammartino: {A-Hearts}{7-Clubs}
Rainer Kempe: {K-Clubs}{4-Spades}

They had both flopped a pair but Sammartino had the higher one with the sevens. The rest of the board was completed with the {10-Spades}{9-Diamonds} to give Sammartino the double-up, leaving Kempe with 5,800.

The hand right after that, Kempe shoved and Sammartino called.

Rainer Kempe: {10-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Dario Sammartino: {5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

The board ran out {9-Spades}{2-Spades}{9-Hearts}{3-Spades}{q-Diamonds} to give Sammartino two pair, nines and treys, to take Kempe out of the running.
