With two players at risk, when the board ran out 3♣ on the turn and 6♠ on the river, it was Allen Kessler with best high hand, with a 6 high straight. Kessler and the player in middle position chopped the low, with both players holding ace-deuce. The player on the button was eliminated.
Jeff Madsen slid out a three-bet from the big blind and was called to the 8♠A♥6♣ flop.
Madsen continued by leading out for 8,000, producing another call to see the 3♠ turn.
After taking a moment, Madsen bet enough to put his opponent all in. That was good enough to earn the pot as the cards hit the muck.
At nearby tables, Felipe Ramos and Frank Kassela both hit the rail.
