Soverel Snaps Kempe in Half
Rainer Kempe had moved all-in several times with his chip lead, building it to a point that he had double anyone else’s chips in an effort to add what would be his 18th live title to his already-impressive poker CV. He just did it with king-deuce, hoping to get another round of folds.
Sadly for Kempe, Sam Soverel is… well, Sam Soverel, and he woke up with [KhKs], calling it off and putting himself in with a great chance of regaining the chip lead.
The board of [Ts3c8d7d2c] saw Soverel double through the leader with ease to 1.5m and resulted in Kempe slipping back to second place in the current chipcounts.
