Kempton With Back-to-Back Doubles
The first of two double-ups occurred when Klemens Roiter raised to 200,000 from the button and faced the all-in of Isaac Kempton from the big blind for 960,000. Roiter called to put Kempton at risk.
Isaac Kempton: 9♣9♦
Klemens Roiter: J♣10♣
Kempton held against the overcards when the board spread out 4♥Q♦5♥K♥7♥ to put Kempton over two million.
The second hand happened when Eric Wasserson raised to 200,000 from the button and Kempton raised to 600,000 from the small blind. Wasserson shoved to put Kempton at risk, who snap called.
Isaac Kempton: A♥A♣
Eric Wasserson: A♠10♥
Kempton had the goods on this one, and Wasserson was unable to pull off the upset on the 10♠Q♠2♥K♣Q♦ board to give Kempton another double up and put him over four million in chips in a hurry.
