Rainer Kempe Eliminated in 21nd Place ($17,693)
Level 27
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Action folded to Jon Vallinas in the small blind, and he bumped it up to 200,000. Rainer Kempe, sitting in the big blind, took his time, recounting his stack and double-checking his cards, before shoving all in. Vallinas quickly made the call, and the cards were on their backs.
Rainer Kempe: A♦5♥
Jon Vallinas: 9♥9♠
Kempe needed to improve, and the 7♠5♦6♦ flop gave him a pair of fives and some hope. The 6♥ turn changed nothing, and the 9♦ on the river sealed it, giving Vallinas a full house and sending Kempe to the rail.
