Kessler on the Brink

Level 12 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Allen Kessler shoved for his remaining 40,000 under the gun, and got a call from the player on his direct left. That player had only 10,000 chips and everyone else folded, so Kessler would survive this hand no matter the runout.

Allen Kessler: {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Opponent: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}

Kessler was behind all the way, and no help came as the board ran out {3-Spades}{8-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{k-Spades}. The loss put Kessler down to 30,000 chips.
