The cards were already on their backs and Allen Kessler was all in for 22,000. The board read {j-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} with around 12,000 already in the middle and Kessler had been called by Salvatore Camarda.

Kessler tabled {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs} for top set but wasn't in the clear yet as Camarda had an open-ended straight draw with {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}. The river brought the {k-Clubs} and Kessler survived elimination to double up.

"It's tough to win a hand around here," Kessler said.

"He's not gonna tweet about this one. If he lost, he would've tweeted about it for sure!" Rex Clinkscales said who is also sitting at the table.
