Kempe Doubles Through Vogelsang

Level 15 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

In the last hand before the break, Christoph Vogelsang raised to 347,000 from the small blind for most of his stack. Rainer Kempe in the big blind announced "I will likely call, but I just want to double check," then indeed called all in for less.

Rainer Kempe: {Q-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Christoph Vogelsang: {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

The {A-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} kept Kempe in the lead, but he had a huge sweat on the {J-Diamonds} turn. A blank {5-Clubs} river let Kempe double for 230,000 and Vogelsang was left short.
