Two Barrels For Kesselman

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

A player raised to 1,600 from middle position, which saw action move around to Igor Kesselman in the hijack who three-bet to 4,500. Anthony Bland in the big blind called and the initial raiser called as well.

The flop of {7-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{a-Hearts} saw action check to Kesselman who bet 2,500, getting a call from only the middle position player.

On the {4-Hearts} turn, the middle position player chekced once more and Kesselman fired again, this time to the tune of 3,500. The opponent tossed and turned with his decision for a little bit, but ultimately mucked his hand giving Kesselman the pot.
