Level 8 : 600/1,200, 100 ante
Claudia Crawford checked it back and turned the nuts.
Claudia Crawford checked it back and turned the nuts.

Claudia Crawford opened for 2,500 from middle position, and Allen Kessler defended his big blind.

"What?!" Crawford said with exaggerated surprise. "Wow. Allen's gonna see a flop."

See a flop the two did, and it came {3-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}. Kessler checked, and Crawford quickly checked it back. A {9-Clubs} hit the board, and Kessler bet out 3,000. Crawford made it 7,000, and Kessler thought briefly before moving all in.

Crawford called right away, turning up {j-Spades}{10-Spades} for the nuts, and Kessler tabled {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs} for top pair with a straight draw. A ten would give him a chop, but the river was the {5-Spades}, and Kessler expressed his disgust at how he'd "dumped chips."
