"A Hand That Even Kessler Would Be Proud Of"
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Brian Barker opened to 3,000 in the cutoff and was called by Gregory Sly on the button, John Bunch in the small blind, and Ja Sim in the big blind.
The flop rolled out A♦Q♣J♣ and action checked around to Sly who bet 6,000. Bunch raised to 18,000 which folded out Sim while Barker raised to 32,000. Sly moved all in for 38,000 and Bunch jammed all in over the top which saw Barker fold.
Gregory Sly: A♣J♠ 
John Bunch: K♦10♣
Bunch had flopped Broadway up against Sly's top and bottom pair. The board ran out 9♠3♦ and Bunch's Broadway held up as the best hand while Sly was eliminated.
"That's a hand even Kessler would be proud of," said Bunch as he raked in the pot.
