Friendly German Battle

Level 2 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Rainer Kempe opened to 5,000 from early position and his fellow German counterpart, Christian Christner, re-raised to 20,000 from the cutoff. The action was back on Kempe who made the call and the flop fell {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{3-Spades}.

Kempe checked to Christner who continued for 20,000 and Kempe made the call. The turn brought the {k-Spades} and Kempe checked again. Christner fired another 50,000 and that proved to be enough to get Kempe off of his hand.
