Andersson Cracks Kempe's Aces to Take the Chip Lead
Level 9
: 1,400/2,800, 350 ante
A big hand happened just before the blinds increased.
Rainer Kempe opened to 5,040 from early position before Francisco "VaPaCooler" Benitez three-bet to 14,455 from middle position. Joakim Andersson jammed for 223,596 from the big blind and got a call by Kempe for 83,912. Benitez folded and Andersson and Kempe showed the hands.
Joakim Andersson: 
Rainer Kempe: 
Kempe was looking good for a double but the 
board gave Andersson a straight to not only at least temporarily eliminate Kempe but also to take the chip lead.
