Kempe Picks Off Kornuth's Bluff and Leaves Him Short
Level 16
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Action folded to the small blind Chance Kornuth who raised to 175,000, and the big blind Rainer Kempe made the call.
After the 4♦Q♣A♣ flop, Kempe called a bet of 100,000 from Kornuth.
Both players checked after the K♣ on the turn, which brought the J♦. Kornuth then bet out 800,000, leaving just 145,000 behind. Kempe gave it a quick thought before making the call.
Kornuth tabled Q♠3♥ for a pair of queens, but Kempe had the winner when he turned over Q♥10♠ for a Broadway straight, to take the pot, and leave Kornuth short.
