Kessler KOs Cloutier

Allen Kessler came by and told us about a big hand he just won. "TJ (Cloutier) had been playing crazy, almost trying to give his chips away," he said.

Cloutier opened, another player called and Kessler re-raised. Cloutier made it 10,000 to go, the unknown player folded and Kessler moved all in. Cloutier called holding pocket kings and was ahead of Kessler's pocket queens.

The board ran {9-} {9-} {3-} {3-} {Q-} and Kessler knocked the Texas veteran out of the tournament.
