Kessler Runs Into Wheel

We caught up to find Allen Kessler heads up in a pot with an opponent. The flop read {3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{4-Hearts} and Kessler bet out 2,200. His opponent called and the {5-Spades} fell on fourth street, putting four to a straight on the board. Kessler bet 3,000 and his opponent called without any hesitation.

The {8-Hearts} came on the river and Kessler slowed down with a check. His opponent bet 3,000 and Kessler threw his arms up in the air.

"You called me with ace-high and now I have to fold this," said Kessler as he showed {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}.

"How could I fold this?!" retorted his opponent who showed Kessler {A-}{Q-} for the wheel. With this loss Kessler's stack is now at about 28,000.
