Allen Kessler Knocks Out Brandon Shack-Harris "In a Crazy Hand"
Level 12
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
"I knocked out Brandon in a crazy hand," Allen Kessler told us. The seat to his left was indeed empty and the guy disguised in a polar bear costume was gone.
"We both had aces in the hole," Kessler started revealing the details of their clash. "I check-raised him on fifth."
Shack-Harris apparently hit fives, but Kessler got there to win. "All my cards were live and I hit a king for aces and kings," Kessler wrapped the story.
Shack-Harris, who had previously finished second (2016) and third (2012) in this tournament, walked away empty-handed this time.
