Life For Kempe
Level 21
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Rainer Kempe raised under the gun to 215,000 with just 150,000 behind, but Jean-Noel Thorel was not aware. Noel threw in 175,000 for a raise, and the players at the table, Thorel included, laughed when the dealer pointed out that Kempe had raised.
Dry as can be, Thorel said, "Okay," and tossed in a few extra chips.
The two blinds folded and the flop brought out 
on which Kempe moved all in for his final 150,000. Thorel called.
Thorel: 
Kempe: 
The turn was the 
and the river the 
, giving Kempe another chance, but he remains as the short stack.
