Kenneth Kessler's Kings

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Kenneth Kessler and Ari Engel were heads up with the board reading {6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}. Kessler tossed out 12,500, and Engel made the call.

The turn was the {7-Diamonds}, and Kessler moved all in for 42,700. Engel went into the tank.

"I think you have the best hand," he told Kessler, who laughed. "I'm either going to give you way too much respect, or way too little respect."

By this point, the ESPN camera crew was at the table, filming the action.

"Now I'm embarrassed," Engel announced.

Finally, he folded, but he held onto the cards.

"Do you want to both show for the cameras?" Engel asked.

"You go first," Kessler told him.

"You promise you'll show as well?" Engel shot back.

Kessler nodded, and Engel turned over {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}. Kessler turned over {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}, much to the delight of Engel.

"Wow," he blurted. "Nice hand."
