Kessler Busts in the "Craziest" Hand of His World Series
The cutoff raised to 1,200 and Giyeon Han three-bet to 3,500. Allen Kessler cold-called from the small blind and the original raiser folded. Both Han and Kessler started the hand with about 40,000 in chips.
The flop came 8♠7♦3♣ and Kessler check-raised Han's continuation from 3,000 to 8,500. Han called.
The turn came the 10♥ and Kessler fired out for 10,500. Han raised, putting Kessler all in for his effective stack of 24,500 and Kessler snap-called.
Allen Kessler: 10♠10♣
Giyeon Han: J♠9♥
Kessler's turned set was way behind the turned straight of Han. The Q♠ river failed to pair the board and Kessler was sent to the rail.
"That was one of the craziest hands I've played at all the world series" Kessler announced. "I did check-raise the flop?" he confirmed with both PokerNews and the table.
