Kessler Eliminates Nash With a Playable Hand
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Robert Nash raised to 8,500 from middle position and Allen Kessler three-bet to 23,500 from the next seat over. The action folded back to Nash, who jammed all in for 75,000 chips, and Kessler made the call.
Robert Nash: A♥K♦
Allen Kessler: K♠K♣
Nash would flop a Broadway draw on 7♠10♠Q♥, but the necessary jack remained absent on the 5♥Q♣ runout.
Nash was eliminated while Kessler almost doubled up.
"I only play kings and aces," Kessler commented after the fact.
