Allen Kessler: 88 / 8245 - folded on sixth street
Perry Friedman: XxXx / JKJJ

Allen Kessler was seen moaning in a heads-up pot against Perry Friedman as he faced a bet on sixth street. With his opponent showing open trip jacks, Kessler revealed he was rolled up with 88 and sent his cards into the muck.

"I've never seen anything like this," Kessler groaned about the bad beat that Twitter will surely hear about.

"If it makes you feel any better, you're lucky you didn't fill up," Friedman said ominously.

"Straight?" Morano asked as Rubin tabled K32 for a six-low and a straight. "I did not see that coming," Morano remarked while sliding his cards towards the dealer to relinquish the entire pot to Rubin.

Taylor Takes From Negreanu in Nine or Better

Level 1 : Limits 500/1,000, 100 ante

Esther Taylor: A9Xx / 92JQ

Daniel Negreanu completed to 500 and Esther Taylor raised to 1,000. "She think's it's Nine or Better!" Negreanu joked before calling.

Taylor bet on fourth street and Negreanu called. The two were a bit confused on the betting order on fifth street but eventually Negreanu-check called a bet from Taylor.

Negreanu again check-called on sixth street and once more on seventh street as Taylor revealed the winner. Neither player had a low and her pair of nines beat his pair of deuces.
