Kempe Busto But Fires Five Bounties
Rainer Kempe busted Event #68, but he still had five bounties to claim.
Four of the bounties were the minimum $1,000 but luckily, in a sense, Kempe hit the chest and went up to try it luck. With the current prizes left, Kempe had around a 1 in 3 chance of pulling a $50,000 or $100,000 bounty from the chest, but he got $25,000. Still, $29,000 in bounties is still a very respectable showing for the German crusher.
