Rocha Can't Fade the Deuce

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

A very short-stacked Corey Kempson shoved all in for 4,300 in middle position, and Alex Rocha reshoved in the small blind to isolate.

Rocha: {a-Spades}{5-Spades}
Kempson: {a-Diamonds}{2-Spades}

Kempson was happy to see he had a decent shot of at least a chop, but the {4-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop put him in the lead to double. The {7-Hearts} turn and {9-Clubs} river weren't what Rocha was looking for. Kempson immediately scampered off to get a celebratory glass of wine.
