Kessler Doubles Early

From middle position, Allen Kessler moved all in for 2,400. He was called by the player in the hijack and the cards were flipped on their backs.

Hijack: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Kessler: {10-Spades}{7-Spades}

The flop came down {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} giving Kessler trips. The turn and river brought the {6-Hearts} and {k-Spades} respectively and Kessler found a much needed double up in the early minutes of play.

"Why couldn't anyone else call," said Kessler.
