Kempe Essentially Shoves on Snead

Level 2 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Sam Snead raised to 5,000 under the gun and Rainer Kempe called from the small blind. The {a-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop saw Kempe check and Snead continue for 11,000.

Kempe then woke up with a check-raise to 42,000 and Snead called to see the {5-Hearts} turn. Kempe bet 70,000 but he couldn't shake Snead, who called to see the {3-Clubs} river.

Kempe bet approximately 175,000 and left himself a single T1,000 chip back. It did the trick as Snead released his hand.
