A Stay of Elimination

Kesselman was alive, for a moment
Kesselman was alive, for a moment
Eric Kesselman lived — then he was out.

Kesselman went all in with pocket fours on a board of 7-5-5-9 and was called by Jared Okun who had trips. After a river king, Kesselman had just 1,500 left.

"I live," said Kesselman shouting across the room, celebrating his two remaining chips.

Kesselman's celebration was short-lived.

On the next hand, Kesselman was all in with 8-2 against pocket kings.

Kesselman, who won a bracelet in pot limit hold'em in 2006, was eliminated in 20th place.
