Hero Call Goes Wrong for Kempe
Level 16
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
With two players seeing a board of A♣7♣4♥2♥ and roughly 90,000 in the middle, Moritz Dietrich moved all in for his last 31,500 from the small blind. Rainer Kempe thought about his decision for approximately 90 seconds before making the call with a covering stack to put Dietrich at risk.
Moritz Dietrich: A♥9♣
Rainer Kempe: K♦5♦
Dietrich's top pair was well ahead of Kempe's king-high but he still had to fade a gutshot straight draw to extend his tournament life. The 4♣ river was clean and Dietrich secured a full double up while Kempe was left with under ten big blinds.
