Kempe Sends Hutter Home
Niveau 7
: 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Rainer Kempe opened from the cutoff and Barry Hutter shipped all in for around 85,000 on the button. The action folded back to Kempe who quickly made the call and the cards were tabled.
Rainer Kempe: 
Barry Hutter: 
The 
board ran out clean for Kempe as his kings held up to be the best hand. Hutter was sent to the rail for the second time today, and with just one re-entry remaining, it appears as though he will be choosing to pass on that as he was seen leaving the tournament area completely.
