Kessler Breaks the PokerNews Curse
Level 13
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
In the "craziest hand" Allen Kessler has seen today, Sterling Savill opened to 8,000 in early position and Michael Trivett and the button both called. Kessler then three-bet shoved from the big blind and Savill four-bet re-shoved behind him. Trivett also moved all in and the button went in the tank before folding.

Michael Trivett: 
Sterling Savill:
