Kessler dissappointed in the outcome

After a raise to 20,000 from Tay Nguyen and an all-in reraise from Ty Stewart for approximately 500,000, Allen Kessler moved his remaining 140,000 stack into the middle from the small blind. Nguyen folded and Stewart and Kessler moved straight to the showdown where Stewart tabled {7-Clubs}
