Wahnich Stacks Hempel

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Caitlin Comeskey opened to 8,000 from the cutoff and Scott Hempel three-bet to 25,000 on the button. Jonathan Wahnich four-bet to 82,000 from the big blind and Comeskey folded. Hempel went into the tank before jamming for 236,000. He was only just covered by Wanhnichs stack who was sitting with only a handful more big blinds than him.

Scott Hempel: A♣K♥All in
Jonathan Wahnich: K♦K♠

Hempel was behind and needed to improve to stay alive in the Main Event. With a king coming in the window, that looked unlikely, but the full 8♦A♥K♣ flop saw some hope still remain for Hempel.

A 10♦ was turned and nothing changed on the 9♠ river. The dealer verified the counts and Wahnich stacked up, having doubled up with his kings.
