Kessler Pads His Stack

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

A player first-to-act opened to 2,400 and action folded around to Allen Kessler in the big blind, who called.

Both players checked on the {6-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{8-Spades}, but Kessler led out for 3,500 on the {8-Hearts} turn. His opponent called.

The {2-Spades} river went check-check and Kessler revealed {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for a rivered eights-full of deuces. His opponent mucked and Kessler took down the pot.

Kessler, who hasn't gained any serious momentum thus far, is sitting on about 36,000.

No Resistance for Young

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Justin Young
Justin Young

Justin Young has been seen three-betting opens from his opponents on multiple occasions. Each time, Young picked up the pot preflop.

Young, who has over $5 million in live-career earnings and who has made multiple appearances on Poker After Dark, registered late and has been chipping up steadily.

...And The Final Tally is...

Dinner Break Chip Counts

Carey Doubles

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Irene Carey had her last 6,000 in the middle from the big blind against a lone opponent opponent from under-the-gun on a {3-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} board. Carey held the {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for a flopped flush, which was best against the {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} of her opponent.

Too Many Outs For Engel

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Ari Engel had bet approximately 8,000 from the lojack on a board reading {8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{5-Spades} against a lone opponent in the cutoff, who called.

The {4-Spades} completed and paired the board and Engel checked. His opponent checked behind and Engel tabled {9-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for both a whiffed straight and flush draw. It was no good against the {5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for a one-card straight and Engel's opponent scooped the pot.
