Vaitiekunas Catches Kessler's Bluff

Level 12 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Alen Kessler (in a previous event)

The players at Allen Kessler's previous table were kind enough to recount what has just happened when Kessler busted:

Paulius Vaitiekunas raised to 8,000 from the button and was called by Matthew Webb and Kessler in the blinds.

They all checked through the {a-}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} flop to the {3-Diamonds} on the turn. Webb checked, Kessler bet 12,500 which only Vaitiekunas called.

The river completed the board with the {a-Diamonds}, Kessler jammed for 42,000 and Vaitiekunas called with {k-}{10-}. Kessler held {q-}{j-}.

The table joked around a bit: "If Kessler had an ace, he would have jammed preflop!"
