Kempe Forces a Fold from Lichtenberger

Level 2 : 500/1,000, 1,500 ante

With a little over 35,000 in the pot, the dealer fanned the flop of {k-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}. Rainer Kempe checked from the small blind and Andrew Lichtenberger put out a small bet of 10,000 from the big blind. Kempe called and the {9-Clubs} fell on the turn.

Kempe checked again and Lichtenberger tossed out another feeler bet of 10,000. Kempe called again and the {10-Spades} completed the board. This time, Kempe used up one of his 60-second time extensions before pushing two stacks of chips into the middle. It was more than enough to cover Lichtenberger's 40,000 chip stack and Lichtenberger instantly flew his cards to the muck.
