A5 TD question based on discussion on other forum
In the $10K Dealers Choice, multiple people were picking A5 TD. Kessler's bust out hand, he raised from the BTN, the SB and BB called and draw 3, Kessler drew 1. It was won with Q-high. Kessler mucked, Turner tried to retrieve the cards from the muck and Kessler mixed up the muck. The rule is the allin player has to show his hand. Turner said Kessler didn't want his backers to know how badly he was playing. Kessler said he was drawing to a 6.
Call and draw 3 from the SB seems bad. I don't know how many bets Kessler had, but being allin by the end allows him to play weaker 1-card-draws, as less reverse implied odds. Maybe Kessler was drawing to worse that a 6. What is the weakest 1-card-draw to open on the button and is it sometimes better to draw to 3 wheel cards?

Is the WSOP doing player dealt games for a literal "dealer's choice" now? If not, what was the actual person paid to deal doing instead of protecting the muck?
Yeah, I know, WSOP dealers.... never mind.
I can guess the answer to this next one: was there any sort of warning or other consequence to the now-eliminated Kessler?
