Heath Shoves on Kempe

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Ben Heath raised to 2,100 from the button before Rainer Kempe three-bet to 6,700 from the small blind. Heath called when the decision was back on him, and the flop fell {q-Spades}{8-Hearts}{2-Hearts}.

Both players checked, and the {9-Hearts} hit the turn, which again resulted in check-check action.

Kempe checked for the final time on the {10-Hearts} river, and Heath thought for 30 seconds before he placed a stack of chips worth 50,000 into the middle.

Kempe was sat with 30,000 and went into the tank.

"Such a weird hand," said Kempe after close to two minutes had passed.

Kempe looked at his holding for the final time just a few seconds later, before he passed, and Heath picked up the pot seconds before the last break of Day 1.
