Kempe Rivers Full House to Take Big Pot

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Rainer Kempe

Rainer Kempe opened the action with a raise to 60,000 from middle position, and Paul Runcan defended his big blind with a call.

The flop came QKJ, and Runcan check-called a continuation bet of 60,000 from Kempe.

Both players slowed down on the A turn and checked it through.

When the A landed on the river, Kempe took his time before firing a sizable bet of 285,000. Runcan didn’t hesitate to call, and the cards were tabled.

Kempe revealed AJ for a full house, and Runcan quickly mucked as the pot was pushed to Kempe.
