Kempe Flushes Nardin
Level 9
: 400/800, 100 ante
Romain Nardin open-shoved on the button, and Sam Grafton folded his small blind. Rainer Kempe, a German pro who resides in Brighton, England, didn't seem to be entirely convinced about calling, but he eventually took all his chips in his hand and demonstratively smacked them into the middle.
Kempe held 
and was trailing Nardin's 
.
An interesting 
flop saw Nardin's hand improve to a set but left Kempe on a flush draw. And the dealer The 
on the turn filled that flush, and the 
river secured Kempe's double-up.
Nardin was left with just four antes.
