Two Outs to Scoop and Brown Hits One

[user25067]

Chad Brown was all in on sixth street. As he squeezed his river card, he said that he needed the {5-Diamonds}

or the

to scoop.

Boom! Brown turned up the {6-Diamonds}

, making an ace-high flush with {A-Diamonds}

for high and 6-4-3-2-A for low to scoop the pot and take his stack up to 58,000. Tragically, his opponent made a queen-high flush and a 6-5-4-3-2 low.

Allen Kessler found himself all in on this hand. On fourth street, he bet and his opponent raised him. Kessler made the call. On fifth, Kessler's opponent bet and Kessler made the call all in.

Kessler: ( {A-Diamonds}

)

Opponent: ( {A-Clubs}

)

"He raised me with ace, jack, five, four?!?!" questioned Kessler, amazed. "You raised me with ace, jack, five, four?!?!"

Kessler's board ran out {10-Spades}

, to make him a pair of tens and no low. His opponent's hand ran out {Q-Clubs}

, to make a flush and eliminate Kessler from the tournament.

"Why do you people do this to me?" complained Kessler. "That's a good hand, ace, jack, five, four. That's a very good hand."
