The Chain Comes Off the Saw

Allen Kessler eliminated
Allen Kessler eliminated
Allen Kessler found himself all in on this hand. On fourth street, he bet and his opponent raised him. Kessler made the call. On fifth, Kessler's opponent bet and Kessler made the call all in.

Kessler: ({A-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds}) {7-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {Q-Spades}
Opponent: ({A-Clubs} {5-Clubs}) {J-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {A-Hearts}

"He raised me with ace, jack, five, four?!?!" questioned Kessler, amazed. "You raised me with ace, jack, five, four?!?!"

Kessler's board ran out {10-Spades} {10-Diamonds}, to make him a pair of tens and no low. His opponent's hand ran out {Q-Clubs} {8-Clubs}, to make a flush and eliminate Kessler from the tournament.

"Why do you people do this to me?" complained Kessler. "That's a good hand, ace, jack, five, four. That's a very good hand."
