MattHansen

Nível 7

Allen Kessler called the PokerNews live reporting team over to his table to share a bit of trivia. Thomas McCormick made a pat wheel () and Kessler picked up number two () on his draw.

While unsure of the probability of such a situation, Kessler says he lost the minimum because McCormick did not maximize his value.
