Tilston Way Out Front

Level 5 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The action folded around to Keith Tilston in the small blind who just limped in. Rainer Kempe raised to 7,000 in the big blind and Tilston re-raised to 30,000. Kempe called and the flop came {a-Spades}{q-Spades}{8-Hearts}.

Tilston checked-called a bet from Kempe and the {7-Hearts} rolled off on the turn. Tilston checked again and Kempe announced all in for around 80,000. Tilston instantly called and tabled {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} for top two pair. Kempe showed {a-Hearts}{k-Spades} and was left drawing to three remaining kings in the deck. The {10-Spades} was not the card Kempe was looking for and he was eliminated for the first time today.
