Kessler Gets Trapped in the Big Blind

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

We picked up the action in a four-way pot on a flop of {3-Spades}{9-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. The small blind had checked to Allen Kessler, who then moved all in for 22,100 from the big. David Fhima called from the under-the-gun position, the button folded, and the small blind did the same.

"I got trapped in this hand from the big blind," Kessler admitted.

Kessler: {2-Spades}{8-Spades}
Fhima: {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

Kessler had flopped a pair and flush draw, and he needed to improve as Fhima held top pair. The {J-Clubs} turn didn't do it, and neither did the {Q-Clubs} river.

"Nothing I could do there," Kessler said before exiting the tournament area.

Meanwhile, Philipp "Philbort" Gruissem has been eliminated from the tournament.
