This Has Never Happened!
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Michael Kassem opened to 15,000 and Terrance Eischens made the call but then Anthony Swift pushed all in for 75,000 total.
The action folded back around to Kassem who thought about it for a full minute before moving all in himself for slightly more.
Eischens quickly got out of the way and the cards were tabled, with Swift's tournament life on the line.
Anthony Swift: A♣K♥
Michael Kassem: 6♣6♦
"Wow! Sixes, really?" Swift was shocked to see what he was up against.
The flop of 3♠5♥Q♥ was of no help to Swift, but the turn K♠ certainly was and he let the table know it.
"Yes! This never happens! I never get lucky!" He shouted.
Fortunately for him, the river came a non-six 7♣ to secure him the win for the double-up as Kassem was now left short.
