Jai Kemp had pocket aces in the small blind, {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{A-Hearts}

, and reraised an early raiser to 1,700. He got a whopping three callers, creating an out-of-control pot of 6,800 chips. Kemp led out for 3,600 on a {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

{5-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

flop. Two of his opponent folded, but one stuck around to the {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

turn. Kemp fired again, for 6,000 chips, then called when his opponent raised all in for 16,400. Kemp's opponent showed {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{5-Hearts}

for a flopped set of fives. Kemp was already walking away from the table when the dealer peeled off the {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

for the river, making a straight for Kemp. As a result he's up to 53,000 in chips.
