Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Limits: 25,000-85,000

Action was picked up multi-way to the K♥5♣3♥ flop as Allen Kessler bet 100,000 from the button and only Narcis Nedelcu called from the big blind.

On the 8♥ turn, Nedelcu for moved in and was at-risk for his final 350,000 as Kessler called, but was concerned that his opponent may have ace-deuce of hearts.

Narcis Nedelcu: A♣10♣9♥2♣ All in
Allen Kessler: A♠Q♥10♠2♥

"Allen, you have second-nut, nut; you can't be complaining," Deeb reprimanded Kessler for complaining about being led into.

"You don't know what I've been through," replied Kessler.

The river was the 3♠ and Kessler got three quarters with the second-nut flush and nut low against the naked ace-deuce of Nedelcu.

Christopher Vitch raised to 65,000 in the hijack and Edward Jackson Spivack three-bet to 230,000 on the button. Brian Rast then reshoved for 465,000 in the small blind, Vitch reshoved, while Spivack also called all in for less.

Brian Rast: A♠Q♦6♣3♦ All in
Christopher Vitch: A♦K♦K♠3♥

The board ran out 10♦7♦Q♠2♥4♣ and Spivack scooped the high half of the main pot with queens and deuces. Both Vitch and Rast had the same nut-low to chop up the low half of the main pot, while Vitch took three-quarters of the side pot with his kings. It took several minutes to settle the pot and a floor person had to be called over before the matter was resolved.
