Kessler Rivers Smith Out of the Tournament

Level 16 : 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action folded to Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler on the button and he raised to 13,000. Jerod Smith was in the big blind and three-bet jammed for 54,000 total and Kessler thought for a solid 90 seconds before making the call.

Kessler: {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Smith: {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}

It was a flip and Smith was just looking to hold to stay alive. He did so through both the {4-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{a-Spades} flop and {6-Spades} river, but then the {k-Spades} spiked on the river to pair Kessler.

"Take longer next time Allen," Smith said before heading for the exit.
