Level 9

Seven Card Stud

All-in Player: J♦10♦4♥/ 7♦4♠6♦6♥
Yusheng Lin: A♣A♥8♣/ J♦A♥2♠7♦
Allen Kessler: XxXxXx/ 10♦10♣8♥ folded on fifth street

A player raised to 1000, when Allen Kessler raised to 2000, before Yusheng Lin three-bet to 3000. The original raiser went all in for 2400, and Kessler made the call.

On fourth street Kessler made a pair of 10s and checked to Lin who checked back.

On fifth street Kessler again checked to Lin who made a bet. Kessler sat in the tank for about a minute and said, "Guess he has to have aces" and folded his hand to give the side pot to Lin

When the cards were flipped over, Lin tabled a set of aces.

The all-in player was not able to improve, and Lin's set of aces eliminated the player.
