Allen Kessler's Ace King

Level 13 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

Cliff Fisher open-shoved for 22,700 from under the gun, and Allen Kessler looked him up on the button.

Fisher: {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Kessler: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

Kessler said something about it being a race, thinking Fisher had two queens, then immediately saw his mistake.

The dealer fanned {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{9-Clubs}, giving both players a flush draw, but Kessler's was higher. Kessler needed a fourth club to come or even an ace once the {q-Diamonds} turned, giving Fisher a pair of queens, but the {6-Diamonds} bricked off on the river.

Fisher doubled to around 48,000 chips, while Kessler dropped down to around 22,000.
