Aces-Up for Kessler

Level 3 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

Action folded to Allen Kessler in the small blind, and he limped in as Prahlad Friedman checked his option in the big blind.

The flop landed {8-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and Kessler bet 800. Friedman called, and the {j-Hearts} and {5-Spades} checked through on the turn and river.

Kessler tabled his {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for aces-up, and Friedman mucked.
