Halter Doubles Through Kessler
Level 20
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Action folded around to Pat Halter, and he raised it up to 13,000. Bryan Kessler peaked down at his cards in the big blind, and three bet it to 45,000. Halter spent about 20 seconds in the tank before moving all in for around 150,000. Kessler made the call, and the cards were tabled.
Kessler: 
Halter: 
Kessler made a good call, as his mid ace was out in front, but the hand was far from over. There was an ace in the window, but it also came with a queen, as the flop came 
. Halter would need to catch another queen or a king, and he got that when the 
hit the turn. The 
on the river was safe for Halter, and he secured the double up to 335,000.
Meanwhile, Bryan Kessler, who was once near the top of our counts, is now down to 140,000.
