Allen Kessler was seen collecting the rest of Mark Kastory's chips with the K♣Q♣J♣10♣9♣7♥ in front of him.
"That's the first time I've ever made a straight flush in Stud!" said Kessler, who is now up to approximately 95,000.

Adam Owen: XxXx/K♣2♣Q♥7♦ - folded on sixth street
John Monnette: XxXx/6♥4♣ - folded on fourth street
Scott Lake: XxXx/3♣Q♣ - folded on fourth street
Scott Lake brought in, Antonio Vargas called the bring in, Maurizio Melara called, John Monnette called and Adam Owen called.
On fourth street action checked around to Vargas who bet. Owen and Melara called while the other two players got out of the way.
The three remaining players checked fifth street. On sixth street Melara bet and only Vargas called.
Melara bet once more on seventh street and after taking a few seconds to consider his options Vargas called. Melara had completely missed and could only show ace-high while Vargas had just a pair of fives to win the hand.
