One-Outed the Hard Way
Level 17
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
This hand was relayed to PokerNews by the players involved.
Jackson Spencer limped under the gun and Michael Krescanko raised to 40,000. Spencer potted back and Krescanko put his remaining chips in.
Michael Krescanko: A♥K♠K♥5♥3♠ 
Jackson Spencer: A♠A♥K♣10♦3♣
Heading to a river on a board J♥8♠2♦2♣, Spencer seemed poised to get at least three quarters of the pot but when the 3♥ fell it became a chop.
Spencer scooped the high and Krescanko had rivered the only low card that would deprive Spencer of at least three quarters.
At this point Brian Hacker chimed in and said he had folded K♦K♠3♦ which meant that Krescanko had truly hit their only out not lose chips.
