Mike Wattel: 7x3x/AxAx5x10x/JxAll in
Allen Kessler: 5xAx/3x7x8x5x/3x

Heads-up on fourth street, Allen Kessler bet and Mike Wattel called.

"Nice hand," Kessler said preemptively.

Kessler bet again on fifth and sixth and Wattel called all in for his remaining chips.

Kessler already held an eight and Wattel need to catch low on seventh to survive. It wasn't meant to be, however, as Wattel peeled a Jx to be eliminated.

At another table, Chino Rheem was also eliminated.
