The Day Starts with a Bang; Wolters Busts Kempe and Bardah

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Derek Wolters opened to 22,000 and Ronnie Bardah announced all in for 18 big blinds. Rainer Kempe called all in for two big blinds less and Wolters called it off to create a massive pot in the three-way all in:

Kempe: {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}
Bardah: {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Wolters: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}

The board ran out {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{5-Spades}{10-Spades}{J-Hearts} and despite all chop outs, the king kicker scooped the pot for Wolters to bust two opponents.
