Reiner Kempe Makes the Nuts

Rainer Kempe

A six-way limped pot goes to a flop of Heart KHeart 10Club J and everybody checks, bringing the turn Heart 7 on board. A player in early position bets 1,500 and Rainer Kempe calls before a raise to 7,000 is put in from the player on the button.

The small blind check-calls and the early-position player calls as well, bringing four players to the river Diamond 4, and the small blind leads out for 20,000. The early-position player tanks for a bit before folding, with Kempe going all in behind for 24,800.

The player on the button then goes into the tank before letting his hand go, and the small blind calls the remaining 4,800 to take the hand to showdown.

Kempe: Heart AHeart 9
Small Blind: Diamond KHeart J

Kempe’s nut flush scores him more than a double, with the player on the button claiming he folded a queen-high flush and the early-position player chiming in that he laid down a set.

Rainer Kempe – 81,000 (162 bb)
