Nakai Loses to the "Allen Kessler Special"

Level 4 : Limits 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

Ryuta Nakai bet from the small blind after the first draw and Allen Kessler called on the button.

Nakai drew one and Kessler two. Nakai then bet, and Kessler called.

Nakai again took one, and Kessler stood pat. Both players checked, and Kessler showed 9x7x6x3x2x to win the pot.

"The Allen Kessler special," tablemate Owais Ahmed said.
