Allen Kessler Eliminated

[user42991]

Not to say that Allen Kessler is unlucky, but when it comes to tournament bust-outs, Kessler has definitely taken his share of bad beats to get knocked out of events. Today was no exception.

Preflop, Kessler moved all in for 11,000 total. A player in the four seat reraised to 22,000 total to try and isolate Kessler. Everyone else folded and we had our showdown.

Kessler: {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{A-Spades}

Opponent:

{J-Hearts}

{J-Spades}

Kessler was well ahead until the flop. The flop fell {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

{J-Clubs}

{8-Diamonds}

and Kessler was needing one of the remaining aces in the deck. The turn was the {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

and the river the {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

.

Kessler said, "Nice hand" and headed for the exits.
