mnuwwarah

Level 21 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

Allen Kessler, on a short stack, was in the tank under the gun and a player called the clock. Kessler protested the clock, saying it hadn't been that long and he was thinking of whether to put all of his chips in, knowing he was committed for a third of his stack or so on the next hand.

Antonio Esfandiari heard the commotion from a neighboring table.

"What happened, Kessler?" he asked.

"Allen was stalling and someone called the clock," Dan Colpoys said from a nearby table.

"No, I wasn't stalling at all," Kessler protested.

Adam Friedman chimed in from another table.

"There's another 67 spots until the pay jump, Allen, you're good to go," Friedman said.

Esfandiari and Friedman then debated over who had the right to needle Kessler first. Kessler said something about Esfandiari offering to be his life coach, and someone else said there wasn't much hope for changing Kessler's ways.

"If he listens to everything I say for a week, there's hope," Esfandiari declared. "I promise you, there's hope."
