Nakamura Cracks Kessler's Top Set

Pot-Limit Omaha

Tamon Nakamura raised to 1,200 from early position and Allen Kessler called in the big blind.

The flop came K♠Q♠5♦ and Nakamura continued for 2,000. Kessler called and both players checked the 8♣ turn.

Kessler led out for 2,500 on the 9♥ river and Nakamura now raised to 8,000. "Really, jack-ten," Kessler said before calling.

Nakamura did, indeed, turn over J♠10♥7♠K♣ for the rivered straight to win the pot. "I had top set," Kessler lamented as he mucked.
