Kessler Runs Into a Bigger Straight

Stud

Ralph Perry: {10-}{Q-}(X) / {K-}{7-}{9-}{J-}
Allen Kessler: {A-}{4-}(X) / {3-}{2-}{5-}{2-}

Ralph Perry was betting every street up through fifth and getting called by Allen Kessler. On sixth street, Kessler bet and was raised by Perry. Kessler had made a wheel, but unbeknownst to him at the time, Perry had made a bigger straight.

On seventh street Kessler checked and then called a bet by Perry only to see the bad news. Lucky for him, he lost close to the minimum on the hand. Kessler is down to 25,500 while Perry sits with 31,000.
