"Ducks With An Ace"
Level 12
: 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Allen Kessler: 
/ 
/ 
Ivo Donev was first to act with the and went all in for his final 1,900. Kessler raised with the ace to get the rundown heads-up.
"Ducks with an ace," Eli Elezra chuckled after Kessler's board was completed first. Donev had plenty of outs to survive and sweated the river before revealing a four to make two pair. Kessler, though, also had a seventy-six low to go with his deuces and the pair chopped the pot.
