Level 2
: 25/50, 0 ante
Big-O
Four players saw a flop of 
and the action checked around to the 
on the turn. Gladys Tano led out for 200 but was called by all three players, including Kinh Dang in the cutoff and Allen Kessler on the button.
The 
landed on the river and the action checked to Dang who tossed in a bet of 600. Kessler quickly called and Tano did the same. Tano was the first to show her cards, flipping over 
for a set but Dang held 
for a straight. Kessler tabled 
for two pair and the best low hand, to scoop half the pot.
"I needed another king, or an eight," Kessler explained, not realizing that neither of those cards would have worked for him.
