Kessler KO'd on Soft Bubble

Level 17
Allen Kessler
Allen Kessler

No-Limit Hold'em

Four eliminations away from the money, Allen Kessler raised to 8,000 in the cutoff, leaving only 1,000 behind. Joseph Ritzie then put him all in from the small blind, and Kessler entered the tank.

"I'm afraid you have ace-king," Kessler admitted.

After about a minute of thought, Kessler decided he could not fold getting twenty-to-one, and he called off his last chip.

Allen Kessler: AJ All in
Joseph Ritzie: AK

"That's really annoying," Kessler stated as he watched the K7938 board knock him out of the tournament. He wasted no time jumping into Event #75: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo, which just started a few minutes ago.
