Allen Kessler Doubles Up

[user42991]

Preflop, Allen Kessler pushed all in for 6,250 total. Action folded to Gavin Smith, who made the call. A player in the nine seat contemplated calling, but decided to fold.

Just before showdown, Kessler looked back at me and stated, "Gavin likes to try and bust me."

Kessler: {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{K-Clubs}

Smith:

{10-Hearts}

{10-Diamonds}

The flop gave Kessler a dominating lead when it fell {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{7-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

. Kessler stated, "It's not over yet." Smith would need running straight cards, running hearts, or running tens to win the hand.

The turn fell the {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

, sealing the hand for Kessler and making the river {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

irrelevant.

After the hand, Kessler is sitting with around 16,300.
