Rainer Kempe Doubles Up

Level 7 : 250/500, 75 ante

High Roller regular Rainer Kempe just got his remaining 6,500 chips all in from the small blind and was at risk against the player in the big blind. Kempe held {A-Spades}{2-Clubs} against his opponent's {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{4-Clubs} {2-Spades} {K-Diamonds}, giving Kempe trip aces to double up.

After the hand, tablemate Sam Grafton jokingly berated Kempe for not taking the smaller events seriously enough.
