Kessler Flips Well
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Following a 4,000-raise from under the gun, Allen Kessler three-bet to 15,000 in a middle position. A player from two seats over moved all in from the cutoff and Kessler called off for his 50,400.
Kessler showed 
and he was up against 
. The flop fell 
and Kessler was in good shape.
His opponent asked for a ten, and while he would eventually get one, it would be too late as the 
turn gave Kessler a full house. The 
river was, therefore, harmless for Kessler who doubled up.
"Usually, when a reporter comes, I lose," Kessler said after the hand. Not this time, however.
