Kempe Off to a Fast Start
Level 3
: 200/400, 400 ante
Rainer Kempe made the final table of this event a year ago and is already looking like a force in this tournament after getting a double-up on Level 3.
Kempe was on the button and all in for his last 57,300 against an opponent in the big blind. The small blind, who called Kempe's original raise before the big blind shoved, thought about the decision for a moment before folding.
Rainer Kempe: 
Big Blind: 
"No pair versus pair. I know which one is going to win," Daniel Negreanu said after both players turned over their hands. The board ran out 
, no help to the big blind, and Kempe dragged in the pot.
