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 
.
Both players checked, and the 
hit the turn, which again resulted in check-check action.
Kempe checked for the final time on the 
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.
