Event #47: $2,500 Omaha/Seven Card Stud Hi-Low-8 or Better

Kessler Finds a Hand He Takes a Shine To

Omaha 8

It folded around to Allen Kessler on the button. He checked his cards, then raised, and both the blinds released.

"Kessler giving action," came the call from across the table. Kessler briefly flashed his cards, and we caught a glimpse of three of them -- the {A-Hearts}, the {A-Clubs}, and a {2-}.

"Every time you get a good hand, your forehead lights up," cracked Abe Mosseri. "I didn't check my cards until the action was on me!" insisted Kessler, who may or may not have still been beaming.

Kessler has just about 50,000 at the moment.
