Keith Tilston opened from the high jack to 2,500. Rainer Kempe was next to act in the cutoff and called.

Alex Foxen was next to act on the button and three bet to 10,000 the blinds folded and the action was back on Tilston who folded.

Kempe thought it over and made the call.

The flop came [7s3c7d] and Kempe checked. Foxen continued for 5,000 and Kempe made the call.

The turn was the [6s] and Kempe check-called a bet of 21,000 from Foxen.

The [4h] hit the river and Kempe lead out for 28,000.

Foxen went into the tank using one of his time extensions before making the call.

Kempe tabled [5s4s] for the seven-high straight and Foxen sent his cards into the muck.
