Kempe Gives Up in Massive Pot
Right after winning that sizable pot, Roberto Romanello opened once more, this time under the gun for 26,000. Rainer Kempe three-bet two positions down making it 83,000. The cutoff cold four-bet to 205,000 and the button, blinds, and Romanello all folded. Kempe called.
Kempe checked on [Qc5h5c] and called the 150,000-bet that followed. Kempe check-called another 175,000 on the [8d] turn before checking a third and final time on the [6h] river. The cutoff bet 425,000, leaving himself just 58,000 behind.
Kempe tanked long and hard, did a double-take on his cards twice, before eventually reluctantly folding.
