"Kessler Hits an Ace and They Run for the Bushes"

Level 3 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Allen Kessler was showing {7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{a-Clubs} and led into his two opponents, Esther Taylor with {3-}{2-}{k-} and Jeff Lisandro with {7-}{5-}{4-}. Both Taylor and Lisandro folded and the entire grumbled.

"You can't let him win like that," Taylor said.

"Kessler hits an ace and they all run for the bushes," Tony Cousineau piped up from the table.

In the next hand, Kessler found his way into another three-way pot.

David Benyamine: {x-}{x-} / {k-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{k-Spades} / {x-}
Kyle Miaso: {x-}{x-} / {2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{3-Spades}{q-Clubs} / {x-}
Allen Kessler: {x-}{x-} / {2-Clubs}{j-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts} / {x-}

The action checked to David Benyamine on fourth who threw in a bet and was called by Kyle Miaso and Kessler. Miaso led out on fifth and both players called.

Benyamine took the betting lead on sixth and made a bet to which both Miaso and Kessler called. On seventh, Benyamine bet again and Miaso raised this time. Kessler called as did Benyamine. Miaso tabled {6-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Clubs} for a straight and six low but Kessler had the high hand with {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for a flush. Benyamine was unable to beat either hand and got chopped up.
