Kessler Picks the Right Time to Wake Up With Aces
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Michael Dehen moved all in from under the gun and Cody Kessler called for 45,000 in the cutoff.
Cody Kessler: A♣A♠ 
Michael Dehen: 8♥8♣
Kessler had found two aces and was a big favorite to double up his short stack. The board ran out 10♥J♦3♦A♦J♥ and Kessler improved to a full house to take down the pot.
At another table, Jason Senger had raised to 20,000 on the button and Andrew Taylor called all in for less in the big blind.
Andrew Taylor: A♦8♣
Jason Senger: K♠8♠
Senger hit a pair on the K♥2♦4♥ flop to take the lead, and the rest of the board came 5♠4♠ to seal Taylor's elimination.
