Kandyba with a Chip and no Chair
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
"All-in and a call" was announced on Table 4 with a board of 4♠3♣2♦8♥ spread across the felt. Jerome Jackson and Oleksandr Kandyba had all of their chips in the middle and Kandyba frustratingly threw his cards on the table after seeing his opponent's hand.
Jerome Jackson: A♣K♦
Oleksandr Kandyba: A♠9♦
Both players had just ace-high but it was Jackson's kicker that gave him the lead. The river was the K♣ and Jackson held on for the win as Kandyba quickly left the room. After the stacks were counted, it was deemed Jackson was at risk for 22,500, leaving Kandyba with a single 500 chip remaining in front of his seat but nobody there to make use of it.
