Kessler and Seewald Can't Hold with Aces

Level 13

Omaha Hi-Lo

Action picked up as the 862 flop in a four-way pot. Allen Kessler was all-in for his final 7,500 preflop from the big blind., while the others had all put in four bets preflop. Jonah Seewald led from the small blind, and was called by Mark Rubbathan in the hijack and Phuong Tran in the cutoff.

Seewald bet again on the Q turn, getting two calls.

On the 2 river, Seewald led all-in for his final 7,000, and both Rubbathan and Tran called.

"Be sure to make note of these beautiful hands that put in four bets pre," lamented Kessler as he tabled his hand.

Allen Kessler: AAK6 All in
Jonah Seewald: AAK5 All in
Mark Rubbathan: 5543
Phuong Tran: Q432

Kessler and Seewald's aces were no good, as Tran turned two pair and rivered a full house, and both him and Rubbathan were playing three-four for the low. Tran picked up three-quarters, while Kessler and Seewald were eliminated.
