Smith Can't Bust Kessler Just Yet
It was mentioned earlier that Gavin Smith was ready to bust Allen Kessler, and he might have just had a chance, but it didn't go his way.
Smith and one other player checked the 
flop before Kessler bet 1,000. Smith check-raised to 2,400, and the player in the middle folded. Kessler called.
The turn was the 
, and Smith fired 3,100. Kessler called to see the 
land on the river. Smith checked, and Kessler bet 5,000. Smith gave a disgusted look back at his cards, then folded, and Kessler won the pot.
