Kaiser Rolls Out in 105th

Aaron Kaiser was just all in for about 475,000 and at risk with {A-Spades}{Q-Spades} against Jean Malherbe's {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}.

The flop came {J-Spades}{10-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} and Malherbe's kings were still ahead. The {3-Spades} then fell on the turn to give Kaiser a flush draw. "Oh no!" said Malherbe, who anticipating the worst went ahead and carved the necessary chips out of his stack to pay off Kaiser.

Malherbe's preparations were unneeded, however, as the river brought the {Q-Clubs}, eliminating Kaiser in 105th.
