Rainer Kempe Eliminated by Eoghan O'Dea

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Rainer Kempe

Rainer Kempe recently fell victim to tablemate Eoghan O'Dea, who was seated to his immediate right.

Earlier in the level, O'Dea opened to 13,000 in the cutoff and Kempe called on the button. On the {Q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop, O'Dea checked, Kempe bet 17,000, and O'Dea called. The turn was the {J-Diamonds} and both players checked. They also checked the {10-Clubs} river, and O'Dea tabled {7-Spades}{5-Clubs} for a flush on the river. Kempe seemed frustrated and let out a sigh.

A little while later, Kempe and O'Dea tangled again, and Kempe did not survive the battle.

Action folded to these two in the blinds and O'Dea moved all in from the small blind. Kempe called for his remaining stack of 56,000 and they went to showdown.

O'Dea: {Q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Kempe: {A-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

The board came {5-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, giving Kempe a pair of eights, but the {J-Diamonds} turn gave O'Dea a straight, which had Kempe drawing dead. The {6-Spades} river was insignificant, and Kempe was out.
