Kessler Eliminates a Player

Level 6 : 300/600, 0 ante

Seven Card Stud

The player with the {k-Clubs} completed and the {4-Spades} raised. Allen Kessler made it three bets and both players called. On third street it checked to Kessler who bet, one player called and another raised. Kessler made it three bets and got two calls, with the second player now all in.

The remaining two players checked fifth street, and Kessler called bets on sixth and seventh street.

Player 1: {x-}{x-}/{k-Clubs}{q-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}/{x-}
Player 2: {x-}{x-}/{4-Spades}{9-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}/{x-}
Allen Kessler: {x-}{x-}/{3-Spades}{5-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}/{x-}

Kessler showed {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for two pair, aces and fives. Player 1 mucked a {k-Hearts}, with the other player mucking {7-Hearts}{4-Clubs} for a worse two pair as he was eliminated.

"I started {a-}{3-}{5-}," said Kessler. "Only joking, I had Aces."
