Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Allen Kessler
Allen Kessler

From the small blind, Allen Kessler opened to 2,400, and Kunal Patel three-bet next door. Kessler shoved all in for 28,600 total, and Patel quickly called to put Kessler at risk.

Showdown
Kessler: {6-Clubs} {6-Hearts}
Patel: {10-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}

The {6-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {A-Diamonds} flop saved Kessler's tournament life, and the turn {5-Spades} and river {A-Clubs} filled him up and doubled him up. He's back to 58,600 now, while Patel falls back to 55,000 or so himself.
