Allen Kessler Eliminated in 3rd Place ($139,036)

Allen Kessler: 88/6K23/6All in
Naoya Kihara: QQ/A3JA/Q

Naoya Kihara completed and called a raise from Allen Kessler.

Kihara check-called a bet from Kessler on fourth street and then led out for a bet on fifth. Kessler raised all in and Kihara called to set up a showdown.

Kihara held queens in the hole against Kessler's eights, and improved to aces-up on sixth. Kessler picked up a flush draw on sixth, but Kihara turned over another queen on seventh to fill up and leave Kessler drawing dead.

Kessler turned over a meaningless 6x — making his elimination official in third place.
