With the board reading {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs} {J-Spades} and more than 5,000 in the pot, Rainer Kempe bet 4,500 from under the gun. His lone opponent in middle position called and the river was the {4-Diamonds}.

Rainer thought for two minutes and moved all in for 14,675 effective. It was an all-in decision for his opponent and he went into the tank. After more than three minutes, he folded and told Kempe, "I had a big hand."

Before he mucked, Kempe showed him the {5-Spades}.

His opponent shook his head and told him, "I folded a queen."

"That was a big fold," was Kempe's response.
