Kempton Benefits from Boat over Boat

Chris Land

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Isaac Kempton limped from early position only to see the cutoff raise to 700. Both the small blind and big blind called as did Kempton to bring out the 9?7?10? flop.

Action checked to the cutoff, who tossed out a bet of 1,500. It was enough to get the blinds to fold but Kempton put in a call to see the 8? hit the turn.

Both players checked and watched as the dealer put the 9? out on the river.

Kempton decided to lead with a bet of 2,000 and faced a quick raise to 6,000 from the cutoff. Kempton paused for a brief moment and shuffled his chips as he thought before eventually putting in the call and watching his opponent turn over the A?Q?10?8? for eights full of tens.

Kempton then tabled his hand to show the K?J?9?7? for a better full house. The dealer turned his opponents cards face down and pushed the pot in Kempton's direction.
