Brad Ruben: XxXx/Q4AK[/Xx
Allen Kessler: XxXx/108J9/Xx
Jason Kluska: XxXx/A25 - folded on fifth street
Patrick Stacey: XxXx/6J5 - folded on fifth street

Jason Kluska bet on fourth street and was called by Patrick Stacey, Allen Kessler, and Brad Ruben.

Kessler then bet on fifth, and Ruben raised. Kluska and Stacey folded, while Kessler called. Kessler then bet on sixth, and Ruben called.

Both players checked on seventh, and Ruben showed QQ7 for rolled up queens. "What a ridiculous hand. How could I ever fold there?" Kessler said as he flashed 1098 for two pair.

"Fun tournament," Kessler said with a tinge of sarcasm after the hand.
