When You're Beat, You're Beat

Stud-8:

With his stack grown short, Allen Kessler found himself in a three-way pot with Isabelle Mercier and Rafi Amit. Mercier was showing {3-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}; Amit was showing {3-Spades} {5-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}. Kessler looked the situation over and said that he knew he was beat, that there was no way he could win the hand...so he folded. And that left him with just 3,000.

When the hand was over Mercier did show down a flush and Amit a wheel, so Kessler saved that 3,000. What he can do with it from here on out remains to be seen. Chip and a chair, as the saying goes...
