Kempe Eliminated in Huge Clash, Sagra Triples Up
Rainer Kempe lost a sizeable pot earlier to James Romero and he lost the rest to both Roberto José Sagra and Romero in a three-way all-in situation.
Kempe had opened the action from early position with a raise to 200,000 and he was called by Romero. Sagra was the short stack and he was all in for 1,730,000 from the big blind with [qhth]. Kempe isolated with [ahqd] when he went all in for about 3,800,000. He was called by Romero with [asks].
The board ran out in spectacular fashion with the [8c5s4s] flop, [7c] turn, and [td] river. The big winners in this hand were both Sagra and Romero, who scooped up a big side pot, while Kempe was eliminated from the tournament.
