Bjorin Back From the Dead
Day 1 chip leader Chris Bjorin was all in by fourth street, and there was action between Allen Kessler and Justin "BoostedJ" Smith on the side. Kessler bet the turn, and Smith called. On the river, Kessler let his opponent make the bet before calling.
Showdown
Bjorin:
Kessler:
Smith:
Bjorin managed to scoop the main pot with his straight to the six on top and the wheel on the bottom. The two other opponents chopped up the side pot, Kessler's sixty-four taking the low, and Smith's set of deuces good for the high. Kessler was none too pleased to see that deuce on the river take away a full half of the main pot from him.
After that big exchange, Bjorin has 115,000, Smith has 155,000, and Kessler is down to 25,000.
