Time For Another Edition of "What's Bothering You Today, Allen"

Level 3

Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Allen Kessler was standing by the rail observing the action, and Daniel Negreanu took out his camera to ask the now-famous question, "What's bothering you today, Allen?"

"I only sold four percent of my action for this tournament. The last time I played this tournament, I made the final table and I decided never again," Kessler said.

"I thought you were rich. Look at all these bets. This tournament was made for you," Negreanu replied, coaxing Kessler into entering.

Meanwhile, Christian Roberts had bet from the small blind and Michael Mizrachi and Matthew Valeo both called.

Mizrachi bet from under the gun after the last draw and Valeo called, while Roberts then raised. Only Mizrachi called and Roberts showed 8x7x4x3x2x, but Mizrachi had 8x5x4x3x2x to win the pot.
