Allen Kessler: A♦8♠8♥ / A♣Q♦6♣3♥
James Cheung: A♥4♠6♥ / 2♦5♦3♣4♥

Allen Kessler completed and James Cheung called from the bring in. Cheung called bets on fourth and fifth street, before betting on sixth street after Kessler checked. The Chainsaw called, and then checked again on seventh. Cheung bet.

"This is a real bad beat if you have it," said Kessler, who tossed in calling chips. "I have aces up."

"I've got it," replied Cheung, who tabled his six-high straight, which visibly tilted Kessler.

"He just plays bingo!" Kessler cried to his rail, walking up to his fans.

"Bingo doesn't pay as well," quipped Cheung as Kessler's rail told him to shake the beat off.

Their words may have fallen on deaf ears, as Kessler continued to bemoan the loss of the pot.
