Kessler Caught In The Middle

[user67765]

Stud-8:

We caught the action on fifth street with Marco Traniello raising the bet of his opponent, who was showing {Q-Clubs}

. Traniello showed {8-Hearts}

but Allen Kessler flat-called the raise with {A-Spades}

. The third player then reraised again with Traniello and Kessler flat-calling.

On sixth street the third player bet out with the {6-Hearts}

and Traniello called with the {6-Clubs}

as did Kessler with the {8-Spades}

.

On the river the third player bet out once again and Traniello squeezed his cards before announcing a raise. Kessler sighed and tossed his cards and the third player made the call.

Traniello showed ( {5-Hearts}

)

for the low as his opponent flipped (9-9-9) {Q-Clubs}

for a full house to collect the high.

After the hand Kessler was left with only about 4,500 in chips.

Play Slowing a Bit

[user42991]

It has been a while since our last elimination. Since it is the last level, a lot of people are trying to hold onto some chips to make it into tomorrow. Chances are in the next 30 minutes or so we will see some players try and double up to pick up some chips or go home so that they can start a new tournament tomorrow.
