Kessler Loses a River Bet

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Allen Kessler opened to 800 in the hijack, and Michael Lerma made it 2,200 to go on the button. Kessler came along, and both checked to the river as {a-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{j-Spades}{j-Clubs} hit the board. At that point, Kessler fired 3,500 and Lerma quickly called.

Kessler showed {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, and Lerma took the pot with {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}.

"I knew I was good on the river," he said.
