Ho Crippled By Kempe

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

With roughly 325,000 in the pot and a board reading {6-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{6-Diamonds}, Michael Ho bet 175,000 from the small blind and Rainer Kempe thought long and hard before moving all in for 207,000 more from the under-the-gun position. Ho made the call and discovered the bad news.

Ho: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Kempe: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

Ho ran his big pocket pair into an even bigger one, and he sent over a large portion of his chips after the {8-Clubs} blanked on the river.
