Level 13 : 300/600, 75 ante
Allen Kessler got caught.
Allen Kessler got caught.

We found Allen Kessler in position against Nacho Barbero in a heads-up pot on the end. The board read {8-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Spades}{4-Clubs}, and a considerable pot had already been built up. Barbero checked, and Kessler fired 10,000. After thinking for awhile, Barbero splashed a stack of yellow chips in to call.

"You got it," Kessler said, tossing {a-}{k-} into the middle. Barbero turned over {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for just a pair of fives.

"Wow, what a call," Kessler said.
