A Short-Stacked Kessler Doubles
Trevor Reader raised to 31,000 preflop only to call the all-in shove of Allen Kessler, which was just 30,000 more.
Kessler: 
Reader: 
The 
flop was kind to Kessler as it delivered him a set of fives, with little chance of a low. The 
turn gave Reader a flush draw, but the 
river improved Kessler to a full house. He took down the pot to double to 130,000. Not a bad start for a daunting comeback.
