Kessler Wins Without Showdown
Level 24
Allen Kessler bet from the button and Alexander Freund made it three bets from the big blind. Kessler quickly called and drew two while Freund drew one.
Freund bet after the first draw and Kessler called. Freund stood pat and Kessler drew one.
After the second draw Freund fired a bet and Kessler called again, drawing while while Freud stood pat.
With no draws remaining Freund checked, Kessler bet, and Freund thought about his decision for about 20 seconds before folding.
"I talked him into bluffing" Patrick Leonard said at the same table as Kessler scooped a nice pot without having to showdown.
