Kessler Clobbers Crawford

Level 16 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

We caught up to see Allen Kessler and Claudia Crawford, fresh off of eliminating a player, heads up in a pot. The board read {8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} and Kessler checked.

Crawford flung 25,000 into an already sizable pot. Kessler cut out a raise and made it 61,000 to go.

"Alright," said Crawford. "I'm all in."

"I call," replied Kessler. "I have the nuts"

Kessler rolled over {A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for the nut flush. A dejected Crawford stood up and tabled {4-Clubs}{4-Spades} for a flopped middle set. She still had outs to make a full house.

"If I lose this one I'm going to be really upset," remarked Kessler before the dealer produced the river.

The river was the {9-Hearts} and Kessler's flush was able to hold, sending Crawford packing late in the night. The two were roughly even in chips, separated only by less than 2,000. With this win Kessler is now sitting on about 200,000 total.
