Sung took the opportunity to fire out a bet on the river, and Lindgren responded by raising it up. Sung thought for well over a minute and looked at times as if he was going to call, but eventually he settled on a fold. Lindgren then flashed a before dropping his cards in the muck.
We arrived at the table in time to find Allen Kessler lead out against two opponents on a board. Kessler fired a bet on the flop and once again on the turn when the fell. All three checked the river and Kessler showed for pocket aces and an ace-five low.
Unfortunately for the Chainsaw, one player showed for two pair to take the high, and the other held for the nut low. Kessler threw his hands up in the air as he watched his chips chopped up between two other players at the table. Kessler is now down to about 40,000.
Thanks to seven cashes at the 2013 World Series of Poker thus far, Dan Kelly currently sits second on the WSOP Player of the Year leader board behind Daniel Negreanu. Both men are still alive in this field, and they no doubt have high hopes of adding to their totals.
