Eric Kesselman: Candidate for the Sickest Call of the Day

With the final board showing {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{5-Spades}{6-Spades}{J-Clubs}, Eric Kesselman checked, and Kido Pham moved all in. Kesselman agonized for several minutes, looking from the board to Pham (who was calmly looking back), and standing up before sitting right back down.

He finally let out a deep breath and said, "I call." Kido replied, "I don't have anything," and Kesselman proudly showed {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts} -- a busted flush draw that turned a lowly pair of sixes. But it was good enough to win the pot as Pham mucked his cards.

Kido Pham was stunned as he dropped down to 48,000 in chips. Eric Kesselman moved into the top 10 of the leaderboard with 233,000.
