Kerstetter Bluffs, Then Doubles
John Duthie took over for Barny Boatman, but the other familiar players at the table stay firm in their seats, still navigating their chips. Those include Jamie Kerstetter, who bet 3,500 into a pot of around 8,000 on the river of a 
board. Her opponent talked himself into a call, and that wasn't exactly what Kerstetter had been looking for. "King high," she announced, knowing that she was unlikely to get this one. She didn't need to show her hand, as her opponent quickly turned over 
.
Kerstetter was left with less than 13 big blinds, but that's not where the story finished. Two hands later, she pushed her remaining 6,275 from the under-the-gun position. Jason Wheeler was next to act, and he was up for the challenge.
Jamie Kerstetter: 
Jason Wheeler: 
A roller-coaster type of board changed the lead back and forth as the dealer put 
on the felt. Wheeler's turned pair of aces was denied by the fourth club on the river, and Kerstetter doubled to about 14,500 while Wheeler's chip count dropped to 8,100.
