Allen Kessler has managed to find a double through one of the chip leaders Freddie Ellis - however he did minimise his win slightly.
Heading to fourth street with just 700 remaining, Ellis asked Kessler if he wanted to get it all in. Kessler refused and opted to just call Ellis' 400-chip bet before both players checked fifth and sixth. Kessler checked seventh dark, and Ellis tapped the table behind him.

Ellis tabled his / for one pair, but it would be Kessler's / for two pair that would see him collect the pot to virtually double.

Catching the action on sixth street we found Jonathan Duhamel betting out only to have Bertrand Grospellier raise. The player in the middle made the call, as did Duhamel before he led out on seventh with only Grospellier making the call.

Duhamel tabled Ax-5x-5x for aces-up but it would be Grospellier's that would see him cripple Duhamel to just 250.
With a completion ahead of him, Allen Kessler raised it up and three players came along for the ride; two of which were Freddie Ellis and Greg Mueller.
Kessler bet out on fourth and found two folds as Mueller was the lone caller before both players checked fifth. Kessler bet out on sixth with Mueller calling before both players checked seventh.
