All in player: Q?2?5?/4?K?4?K?
Eric Rodawig: 6?5?8?/J?5?7?9?
Allen Kessler: A?2?3?/A?6?K?10?

Eric Rodawig, who won a bracelet in the $10,000 Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better event in 2011, completed and Allen Kessler raised to two bets. A third player raised again to put himself all in and received calls from both Rodawig and Kessler.

Kessler bet fourth street and was called by Rodawig, who took the initiative on fifth street with a bet that was called by Kessler.

Rodawig fired again on sixth and seventh, receiving a call from Kessler each time.

Rodawig tabled a nine-high straight which was good against Kessler's pair of aces and the all in player's two pair, kings and fours. He scooped a sizable pot as a result, eliminating one player and reducing Kessler's stack in the process.
