Allen Kessler and Howard Lederer each had 14,000 in bets in front of himself by the time all of the community cards were out, 
. Lederer bet 22,000 on the river, which was enough to put Kessler all in. Kessler had to puzzle out his decision before finally deciding to call with 
, a bare pair of kings and the second-nut low. Lederer, it turned out, had just a bare pair of queens and the second-nut low, 
. Kessler would wind up taking three-quarters of the pot.
"Wow, nice call," said Lederer.
"Nice hand, Chainsaw," Steve Chanthabouasy agreed.
