Corey Kempson

On a flop of {2-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} Michael King checked from the big blind. Corey Kempson was in the hijack and bet 12,500. King then re-raised to 36,000. Kempson called.

The turn brought the {q-Hearts} and King fired out 70,000. Kempson stared King down and called.

Both players then opted to check the {10-Diamonds} on the river.

King tabled {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for ace-high before Kempson revealed {a-Spades}{q-Clubs} for a pair and the winning hand.

In the following hand Kempson opened to 10,500 from middle position and was called by Michael Fraser in the cutoff as well as King in the big blind.

The three checked the {10-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop as well as the {5-Clubs} on the turn.

The {q-Clubs} completed the board and King tossed out 35,000. Only Kempson made the call.

King then tabled his {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and took down the pot with a higher flush then the board was showing after Kempson mucked his hand.
