Green Chips' Last Hurrah; Kessler Sneaks in Double Up Off Dario

[user46298]

Kessler: Who needs 25 chips when you have lots of threes?

As they prepare to wave goodbye to the 25 denom green chips, short stack Allen Kessler makes his bid for bustout or glory with a promising [XX] {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

{3-Hearts}

which he bet at the much bigger-stacked Dario Minieri. Minieri (with 13k or so) paused for a minute and smiled, saying, "I have the crap of the crap!" but called the <1000 anyway. They decided to flip their cards over and see what happened...

Kessler: {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

{5-Spades}

..

{2-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

{3-Hearts}

..

{Q-Diamonds}

..

{6-Diamonds}

Minieri:

{J-Spades}

{4-Spades}

{A-Diamonds}

{9-Hearts}

{6-Diamonds}

..

{K-Spades}

..

{10-Clubs}

Kessler back to 4k but still hovering around the danger zone, while I reckon "The crap of the crap" is some kind of Italian opposite to "Creme de la Creme." I like it.
