Action was picked up on fifth street in a hand between Jesse Katz and Allen Kessler.

Allen Kessler: XxXx/K♦6♣3♦4♠/Xx
Jesse Katz: XxXx/3♣A♥10♦7♥/Xx

Katz checked on fifth street and called when Kessler bet. The same action repeated on sixth place.

"God, how do you call down with these hands?" lamented Kessler "I have ace-king-king."

"For this exact reason Allen," Katz joked as he raked in the pot.
