Kessler Hanging in, Eckhart Chips Up
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
In a four-way limped pot, action was checked on the Q♦2♥2♦ flop by Steven Martinelli in the small blind and Allen Kessler in the big blind.
John Eckhart then bet the pot, 50,000 from the cutoff. Robert Whyte folded on the button, as did Martinelli, leaving Kessler who held slightly more the only potential opposition.
Kessler opted to fold and preserve his remaining chips, with Eckhart appearing frustrated that he couldn't get a call as the pot was pushed his way.
