Allen Kessler: / /
James Opie: / /
After arriving at the table with the action on seventh street, Allen Kessler was left with a mere 3,000 chips in front of him. Upon receiving his seventh card, Kessler announced to the table that he was betting in the dark.
"You're here to get my bustout?" Kessler piped up.
Opie called and the third player in the hand reluctantly folded. Kessler already knew that he had half of the pot locked up with a flush, but he was also looking to make a low hand. He peeled his other card and then tabled . "I have an eight-six low," Kessler said with excitement.
Unfortunately for him, Opie already had a seven low with and the two players chopped up the pot.
