Rainer Kempe runs into Aces.
Rainer Kempe runs into Aces.

Rainer Kempe opened to 225,000 from under the gun and David Einhorn three-bet to 675,000 from the hijack. The action folded back to Kempe who stuck in a four-bet to 1,625,000. Einhorn five-bet shoved all in and Kempe quickly called.

Rainer Kempe: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
David Einhorn: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

Kempe's tournament life was at risk just 20 minutes after registering in the tournament. The flop came {j-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} leaving Kempe drawing to two remaining queens in the deck. The turn brought the {a-Hearts} and Kempe was drawing dead to the {9-Diamonds} on the river.
