Rabtsov Doubles Through Kessler

appeared on the flop, Kessler checked, Rabtsov bet 50,000, Kessler raised pot, and Rabtsov called off for 155,000 total.
Kessler: 
Rabtsov: 
Kessler had a pair of fours with both flush and low draws, while Rabtsov was in front with his aces and low draw. The 
turn changed nothing, but the case ace, 
, spiked on the river. It gave Kessler two pair, but Rabtsov a set; not only that, it meant that the latter's 7-3 low was best.
Rabtsov scooped the pot to double to 310,000 while Kessler was knocked down to 490,000.
