Small Ball Poker
Level 4
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
There have not been any huge hands to speak of with small ball poker being in vogue at present. Rainer Kempe has moved all in over the top of several raisers but has received no callers so far.
However, Kempe’s short stack has dwindled still further with Ben Tollerene being the benefactor.
Preflop Kempe completed from the small blind and Tollerene raised it up to 3,300. Kempe tanked for 15 seconds before making the call and action went heads-up to the 
flop.
Kempe checked, Tollerene led out for 3,000 and Kempe check-raised to 8,700 in total. It was Tollerene’s turn to tank for 15 seconds before announcing he was all-in. Kempe did not take long to fold and dropped to 16,500 while Tollerene is sitting on 90,500 after the hand.
