Kessler Binks the Turn

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

The big blind checked to Carter Kessler on a {5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{k-Spades} flop and Kessler bet 80,000. The big blind check-raised to 190,000 and Kessler thought for about two minutes before moving in for 645,000 total.

"This is a cooler if I lose this one," the big blind said to someone on the rail before calling.

Big blind: {5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}
Kessler: {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Kessler was behind, but the dealer burned and turned the {k-Hearts}, giving Kessler unbeatable trips.

An elated Kessler clapped, hopping up and down a few times, unable to contain his excitement.

Graner Busts Two

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

A short stack moved all in for approximately 60,000 and another short stack joined in for slightly more than 100,000. Stephen Graner made the call. The first all in player had {A-Clubs}{7-Spades}, the second all in player had {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs} and Graner held {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}. The board would run out {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{2-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} to give Graner the double knockout. Here are the remaining chip counts from Graner's table, #439:

Burleson Quadruples to Still-Tiny Stack

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Larry Samet opened the action preflop with a raise to 45,000 and got calls from Brad Anderson in middle position, Colby Burleson in the small blind, as well as the big blind. Burleson's call put him all in for his remaining 25,000 chips and the flop came {6-Hearts}{8-Spades}{3-Spades}. The player in the big blind checked and Samet pushed his roughly 260,000 chips in the middle, eliciting folds all around. He collected the side pot and he and Burleson flipped their cards up for the main pot.

Burleson: {10-Spades}{3-Hearts}
Samet: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

The turn brought the {3-Clubs} and Burleson jumped ahead with trips, while the river {J-Diamonds} fell meaningless. Burleson scooped the main pot for a quadruple up and is still sitting very short.

Minor Setback for Lybaert

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Bart Lybaert raised to 40,000 from early position and Christopher Thompson moved all in from the big blind for 108,000. The Belgian called off and showed {6-Clubs}{8-Hearts}, having two live cards against {Q-Spades}{10-Hearts}. There was no help on the {J-Clubs}{A-Spades}{7-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} board and Thompson is still in it to win it.
